TBH, I have no idea.  You may be able to tell by looking at the general
purpose bit of an encrypted entry.  Bit 0 would be set when encryption
is used and bit 6 would not be set for old crypto if I read the spec
correctly.

Looks like it was using the 7Zip C++ libs under the covers so likely
doesn't implement the crypto stuff itself.

Hmm, I just saw Bear Gilles had attached some example code that does
traditional PKWare encryption to COMPRESS-88 two years ago.  Somehow I
forgot about it even though I commented on it.  Maybe it is about time
to incorporate it without doing the "proper API" first - no promises,
though.
