Subject: 7z on LINUX
Hello all:
I recently had the misfortune to download an archive with 7z format. I
can't find anything that does that sort of decompression in Linux. On
7zip's source-forge page, there's some nonsense about using Wine to run
their Windows version, but as far as I'm concerned, that's a ridiculous
kludgie way of doing things that should be avoided if at all possible.
Somebody must make a 7z decoder runs on Linux, right? It's just that
every time I do a Google search I get all this Windows crap! I was able
to download some source which CLAIMS to compile on Linux but the
makefile is totally in a Windows format. Heck, I might be willing to
port it, but I'm not going to reinvent somebody else's wheel. So does
anybody know of a real Linux app that does this?
Thanks,
Vaughn
