Don't confuse BCArchive with BestCrypt.  BCArchive(freeware) is for
files/folders, BestCrypt(NOT freeware) is for volumes/drives.  Check the
page I sited:                                 www.jetico.com/bcarchive.htm">http://www.jetico.com/bcarchive.htm

# Create compressed and encrypted archive file protected by password.
# Create compressed and encrypted archive file encrypted using the public
key of another user.
# Add several passwords to an existing archive file.
# Apply more than one public keys to an archive file enabling a number of
users to decrypt the archive.
# Generate new or use existing secret/public key pairs in PKCS-12/X.509
format.
# Compress and encrypt data to a self-extracted executable program. The
user can run the program and extract the data even on a computer where
BCArchive is not installed.

Try it and you'll see.
