Has any one played with this?
http://www.7-zip.org/
I comes on the OpenCD for example.
I'm looking to replace WinZip which is getting even more onerous now
that its new owners really want your money, in a bad way.
I tried it on a folder. Right clicking, then I Add to Archive. This
brings up the 7-Zip menu. I selected Zip format (7z is the default) and
left other settings as default (Normal compression etc.)
It resulted in a slightly thinner zip file. WinZip was able to extract
it and the files were identical. It does change the
the path setting so by default, you get a folder to extract things into
matching the original folder name. I'm used to the way tar.gz files
usually work is F/LOSS stuff. And you aren't liekly to extract a bunch
of stuff to litter your c:\ root folder with.
Licensed under the LGPL but I don't know how to obtain the source for
it. Perhaps you have to register?
