I tried Rugxulo's program (7zdecRSX.exe) and yes, it works in DOS and
Win7-64bit equally well.

In the Windows command window you need the rsxnt.dll file to run and
in real mode DOS the rtx.exe file plus cwsdpmi loaded first.

I guess if Guenther could compile his program this way it would solve
his problem.
