===========

Homepage : http://p7zip.sourceforge.net/

p7zip is a port of the Windows programs 7z.exe and 7za.exe provided by 7-zip.

7-zip is a file archiver with the highest compression ratio.
Homepage : www.7-zip.org

7z uses plugins (7z.so and Codecs/Rar.so) to handle archives.
7za is a stand-alone executable (7za handles less archive formats than 7z).
7zr is a light stand-alone executable that supports only 7z/LZMA/BCJ/BCJ2.

AmigaOS version notes
=====================

Like the updated UnRAR port this port should also have large file support
(files > 2/4 GiB).

Using absolute AmigaOS style paths will not work in some situations, like
"7za l Work:Downloads/cairo_lib.7z" will return a file not found error. In
such situations an UNIX style path has to be used instead (e.g. "7za l
/Work/Downloads/cairo_lib.7z"). This situation is the same as with Joerg
Strohmayer's earlier p7zip port.
