Hi Rugxulo, > Hence I suggest sticking with 7ZA920.ZIP or some version of > p7zip 9.20.1 (despite bugs), at least under DOS.
I downloaded this version: /pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/file/7zip/9.20.1/testing/p7z9201-latest.zip 2012-Sep-03 13:00:32 ... and here's a couple of observations, in case anyone is interested. With this version I could compress and decompress subfolders, which was one thing I was unable to do with the previous version I used. However, it still does not seem to interpret the "@" syntax (filenames given in a file) at all. It just ignores what comes after the "@", with the result that, when compressing it compresses everything in the current folder, and when decompressing it decompresses nothing. A side effect of this is that the Connect file manager (which I use constantly) cannot be configured to support 7zip, because Connect relies on the "@" syntax for that. In one decompression test with Connect, 7zip gave this message: Error: Cannot use absolute pathnames for this command This does not seem to be the real reason, because I tried the same decompression directly from the command line (i.e., not from Connect) giving the relative pathname, and it also failed. Still, as it is, 7zip is very usable. After some more testing I plan to use it more extensively. Thanks for your part in it.
