It's hard to remember all the different versions. Seems that "9.20" is the latest "stable" while 9.22 is "beta". Anything else seems to be unfinished "alpha", and I don't see sources for any of those on SourceForge. In particular, I did remember that 7ZA920.ZIP was the last (static?) official build of the Win32 console version of the archiver that works under Japheth's HX. Maybe others (7zr.exe?) work too but probably need third-party MSVCRT.DLL, which I've not tested under DOS. Hence I suggest sticking with 7ZA920.ZIP or some version of p7zip 9.20.1 (despite bugs), at least under DOS. The OP has mentioned he prefers to use DOS versions in lieu of other OSes. (Yes, the easy answer is always to use another OS, heh. It's a valid solution for some people but not for everyone.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
