I don't like the old style and it's horribly annoying with tools like unrar and 7z as well. I don't know why the compression tools all ignore years of established command line syntax, but I think we shouldn't chime in to this mad play. At least, I would print a warning if the old style syntax is seen so people start fixing their scripts. With best regards Laslo
