+Archangel is an archiver for 2005 and beyond. Some features are:
+
++ cross-platform
++ individually {compressed,bzip2ed,gzipped} entries
++ individually {signed,encrypted,signed+encrypted} entries
++ entries can be padded to arbitrary lengths
+
+All in all, a combination of zip, tar, and gpg on steroids
+
+You can now backup files, and not be worried about people reading them,
+either in transit or at their destination.
+
+Entries have a maximum size of 1 MB (by default) internally, so that
+media problems mean that you can recover the parts that aren't affected.
