well..this was an adventure I hope not to encounter again.
First, the t command, which I was told would test integrity failed all
together.
so did, unlike with pk branded zip items, running p7zip on an archive in a
different directory, even with the DPMI file right beside the thing.

Sorry, I have a retraction.

p7zip does however.

You should be alright if you grab a copy of CWSDPMI and add it either to:
- one of the directories in your %PATH%
- or you put it in your current working directory
- or you put it alongside P7ZIP.EXE
CWSDPMI is also packaged by FreeDOS:
Thanks again Eric!
I was likewise confused by some of what is here.
your wisdom about what to run has presented another challenge.
now, this is the first time in a while a machine has been built for me,
without my being present for the dos installation itself.

Hi!

While you get extra package management features by opening
our zipped app packages with a package manager, unzipping
them with any UNZIP style tool will usually be sufficient.
So you should be fine.

Optimally, you should extract the entire directory ARCHIVER\P7ZIP
somewhere and write a P7ZIP.BAT file in your %PATH% that

My search suggested that I should fine an executable called 7za,

Hello Karen,
As I've stated in my previous email:
* unzip is for decompressing zip files
* zip is for creating zip files
* p7zip is for BOTH creating and extracting 7z files (and many more
actually)
With p7zip, this is not an Alcohol 68% and Alcohol 52% situation, like
it is with zip
I am sorry if this question is very very silly.

Hi Ralf,
Thanks for the correct extension. Will download the file again saving it
properly.
I do not personally run freedos yet for many reasons, so my thanks to
others for doors to the software as well.

That and there's also, well, guessing which ~# file is the correct one.
Also if you don't have the install CD, you can try your luck with
connecting your FreeDOS instance to the Internet. fdimples has no
problem downloading stuff that's online if you don't have a CD at hand.

Regular zip files can be decompressed with unzip. For compression, use zip.
7z files can be decompressed with 7zip.
They're all on the full FreeDOS install CD.

Hi All,
and a reminder how to set them apart from say .zip files?
have such an archive, needed to get a machine built, and one program I am
restoring is available as a 7zip file.
Is there a DOS equal to the pk zip package?
And should such files be named differently than just .zip?
Thanks so
