You've ruled out all the practical alternatives*, then, even if you have
good reasons for that.  There aren't really any alternatives that are
any less noddy than winzip and most of them are less accessible.  There
are winzip-compatible *nix ports, so it at least forestalls that class
complaints from the tech-literate minority that might otherwise have a
problem.

* Practical alternatives that offer better security, that is.

A problem shared brings the consolation that someone else is now
feeling as miserable as you.
