Interesting, that was a significant improvement. Almost as good as zip and certainly good enough to make 7za a good candidate. Thanks.
I'm running a lengthy test right now, but my immediate impression is that 7zip is only marginally slower than zip. Zip typically needs slightly less than 0.02seconds for an extraction, where as 7zip typically needs a little more than that. If 7zip does better compression too (which it should), it's a winner. However, 7zip for Linux looks a bit, well, unfinished. It doesn't read filenames from stdin, it doesn't have a --quiet option,
I use '-bd -y' for "quiet" opperation in scripts.
I notice you put quiet in quotes - coz those two options don't exactly make 7za very quiet ... -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
