I did download Eric's file, as I do not use freedos.
The information indicates that it might be a port of a windows package.
My search suggested that I should fine an executable called 7za,
or even just 7z, but it is not there.
the p7z file does not work at all.

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 and unzip ;)
You can install all 3 from fdimples, which is the package manager for
FreeDOS. fdimples should be able to use a CDROM, a USB pendrive, or a network
connection to reach a repository and let you install whatever packages are
available within.
If you do not want to use fdimples, I'm afraid you'll have to download those
files that Eric specified on Ibiblio and extract them into your FreeDOS
partition. The disadvantage here is that you'll have to serve yourself to
have these tools available in %PATH%, or, put up with having to use absolute
paths to the executables of these programs.
Hope it helps!
Best regards,
Micha?? Dec

The file referenced by Eric, seems to have archiving tools, but not
extracting ones.
Unless I am missing something profoundly obvious?
