p7zip is the Unix port of 7-Zip, a file archiver that archives
with very high compression ratios.

p7zip provides /usr/bin/7zr, a standalone minimal version of the
7-zip tool that only handles 7z archives. It also provides
/usr/bin/7za, a statically-linked application that supports packing
and unpacking 7z, zip, gzip, bzip2, and tar archives.  Additionally,
it provides /usr/bin/7z, a module-based application that supports
the full set of 7-zip compression formats:
  pack/unpack: 7z, zip, gzip, bzip2, xz, tar
  unpacking:   arj, cab, chm, cpio, dmg, hfs, lzh, lzma, wim, xar, z
               installer formats: nsis, deb, rpm, msi
               filesystem images: udf, iso, ntfs, fat, vhd, mbr
The modules used by 7z are located in /usr/lib/p7zip/.

RAR unpacking support is NOT provided, as the UnRAR license is not
OSI-approved and is incompatible with cygwin. You are free to download
the source package and rebuild p7zip *for your own personal use* as
long as you do not distribute the resulting binary, if you need RAR
unpacking support.

[[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 and g++-3.4.4-999 ]]

This will most likely be the final p7zip update for the
cygwin-1.5 distribution; future development will continue
with p7zip-9.04-10 for cygwin-1.7.
