You could use encrypted zip files. The only problem is that
you might have to compile it yourself, but the source code is
available out there. It will compile under linux as well as
djgpp(dos).

Also the encryption has been rumored to be cracked, but not by the
average hacker.

If you want to know where the source code is, do a web search for zip,
or email me.
