Let me table this discussion where my question is concerned. there is another copy of this program zipped using regular pk zip for dos and as a strict dos port. It is on the same site where I referenced a long time ago the dos ports of mplayer and other dos related desires.
You will find a .ZIP of 7ZA for DOS on the same website: http://www.ausreg.com/dos_ports/index.htm Thanks for the other answers, but this option should meet my needs.
