7-Zip an application made by Igor Pavlov ( http://7-zip.org/ ) 
gives a very high compression ratio.

Mainy users wish it should also be available in Linux.
see http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=758481&forum_id=45797 

But as Igor is not comfortable with gcc. So it is difficult for him to port.

7-Zip also use many non standard function from MS-VC++
So a better way to port it to Linux will be to first port it Cygwin or MinGW.


I wish there is somebody to port this.

As per Igor Standalone command line version in folder
  Project\archiver\bundle\Alone\     
will be easy to port

You can get source code at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/ 

or get help from Igor at his emailid support@7-zip.org
