Thanks for your work on this, Zach Smile

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

I tested the package and all works as expected, thank you very much!

BTW, there is a little typo in the first sentence of the presentation, saying that the version is 2.2, could you please fix it?

Developer of PeaZip project

Sorry to be a dolt but can you please tell me what are the differences between PeaZip and 7zip?

PortableApps.com Advocate

mostly interface differences, and PeaZip offers a few more advanced options. Test out both for yourself. I personally use 7-zip, but saw PeaZip as an excellent alternative, and a powerful utility, so I packaged it up for others to use.

With the new system integration, I think he'll have me hooked.

i remember this from the first versions, it's improved quite a bit, 5/5 rating.
