How about using the jar command - it runs in QSH and creates basically
a
ZIP file - you can force the extension to be ZIP and leave off the
manifest file that Java uses. And you have several compression levels
to
choose from.

Vernon, I agree that jar is a nice (and oft' overlooked) compression utility
available on a lot of platforms. But it won't open a 7z file, and I don't
believe it will create one. I'm not sure of the need that drove the OP to
do this install, but there are many who need this utility from time to time.

I didn't mean to be posting about the ins and outs of 7zip. I meant to be
posting about the benefits of keeping different filesystem types separate.
