I think there's a newer official FreeDOS 1.0 port (7za 4.42) than the
version on Blair's page, and that's the one I use:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/pkgs/
7zipx.zip, 7zips.zip

(However, this one seems, in my limited testing, to dislike CWSDPMI
for whatever reason. Just FYI, in case anyone has the same problem: on
my old P166 w/ 32 MB RAM, 7za 4.42 seemed to consistently segfault
unless I stubbed it with WDOS/X or used DR-DOS' DPMI server instead.
If anyone finds out why, I'll be glad to know.)

It's possible, but mainly I couldn't figure out for certain (since it
never worked) what files for WATT-32 and pthreads are necessary to
install. (Why is WATT-32 even needed??) So, it's no surprise that I
couldn't rebuild.  :-/
