my favorite does it all non bloat

Excellent general-purpose archiver. For those who complain about the "beta" state, it is just a word. I use it for years and found it very reliable, much more so than a lot of "release" software.

18.00 is still a beta.

Why in the name of Odins beard do they continue to use these incredibly ugly icons, the application will never get anywhere as long as they continue to use them.
You can manually update the icons with the following link, but why do they not just change them??

7z1508-x64.exe
OPEN SOURCE, compared to copyright (foreign, unknown) stuff hidden in newish RAR, etc.
Also available as 32 bit.
Allows compression, decompression of many file types.
Regularly improved, upgraded, with compatibility with many older & freeware versions.
State of the art GUI menu interface, with good folder usage, file usage.
Version inbuilt into my favorite file browser (Servant Salamander) is faster, & almost as tightly compressed.
7-zip is used as a benchmark standard by many reviewing sites.
Benchmarking allows 8-core tests.
Ultra-compilation only allows 2-core, with very small improvement on overall compression.

Its very good but not IMO as good as Winrar, but I don't think anything is - Great for free though!

The only program to use, forget winzip and there charges this is free and does the same job if not better.

dhry, refer here for Igor Pavlov's own explanation as to what seems like 7-Zip's odd version numbering: http://sourceforge.net/p...n/45797/thread/e127e39c . This is an old explanation but still holds true.

Pros: great stuff glad to see it got and update
Cons: lets go brandon
Bottom Line: my favorite does it all non bloat
taxis reviewed v18.04 Beta on Apr 26, 2018
Pros: - very well designed efficient "7z" format (fast, high compression rate)
- supports most common formats
- open source, pipeline architecture
- stable, no bloat
Cons: no support for RAR, no error-correction
Bottom Line: Excellent general-purpose archiver. For those who complain about the "beta" state, it is just a word. I use it for years and found it very reliable, much more so than a lot of "release" software.

Why the did version of this program go from 9.38 to 15.00?
Enlightenment reviewed v9.38 Beta on Apr 4, 2015
7-Zip still doesn't support file recovery redundancy data to protect archive files against file damage, nor does 7-Zip support a larger file checksum than 32-bit CRC32.
WinRAR has options for file recovery and 256-bit BLAKE2 file hash.
7z isn't as robust for long-term storage as the better RAR file format.
Free is NOT always better!!
