Well, I'm stupid.  I encrypted some personal files in a .ZIP before leaving
on a trip.  Two weeks later, I've forgotten the key (thought I would
remember it- Murphy's Law).

So, is there any little utility or trick to recover the archive, or
should I keep guessing?  I am using Pkzip 1.1 with the USA encryption.
