Hi yet again, I should probably now mention that I had already cross-compiled p7zip 9.20.1 for DJGPP a few days ago. I really just wanted some testing from BTTR's forum before announcing anything. Even then, I feel too crude to really call it a port (or, God forbid, maintainer!). It's more like, "Here's a rough hacked build I made, no guarantees!"
Then today I built it again, hopefully this time actually fixing the '/' *nix forward slash problem (see Bugzilla), thanks to hints from Rod P. I did try to test various parts of it, and it mostly works, but I'm still not sure I'd call either totally "bug free". But feel free to kick the tires. 1). http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3469346&group_id=5109&atid=105109 2). http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3469327&group_id=5109&atid=105109 3). http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/board_entry.php?id=11710 On Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 2:55 PM, Rugxulo <rugx...@gmail.com> wrote: > > By default (-mx5), 7-Zip (LZMA) uses a 16 MB dictionary (or less if > the files don't even total that much).
