- Just a hunch, but try examining the archive using archiver (e.g. !SparkFS or a
- different version of !ArcFS). It's possible that the archive viewer you are
- using thinks it is password protected when it isn't. I have heard of this
- happening when an archive using squash compression (with !SparkFS) was trying
- to be read with !ArcFS (which might not handle squash compression).

- Hope this helps,
