After reading the following post, I searched for newer 32/64bit libraries that supported LZMA2: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 77#p460177
- not tested, but documentation suggests that the newer libraries support the compression method

Information:
- Command Line Commands
- Command Line Switches

Great work JHPJHP
Thanks a lot for that update and all the nice examples.

"IncludeFile" do not work with PB5.24, due to the change made in PB5.30.

[JHPJHP]

Hi PureGuy,

Thank you for your comments, and for pointing out the issue with the Include files.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Updated:
- fix the issue with the Include files, should now run in PureBasic 5.24 LTS (x86 / x64)

NB*: Made other small changes, nothing worth documenting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Updated:
- renamed 1 example
-- SevenZip_Add.pb to SevenZip_Add1.pb
- added 2 examples
-- SevenZip_Add2.pb: adds files to an archive (creates the executable if needed)
-- SevenZip_Help.pb: displays help information in the debug window
- added 1 binary
-- 7z.sfx (x86 / x64)
- added 1 reference
-- 7-zip.chm

I was testing the [a]dd parameter with the -sfx switch used to create a self-extracting executable, but it kept opening a dialog box first. After some research I found that the use of an sfx file allows for control/suppression of the dialog: SevenZip_Add2.pb.

I've also added the -hide switch to the examples, supressing the 7-zip information window from showing; debug window will display the returned information.

Updated:
- added 1 include: procedures.pbi
- added 2 binaries: 7z.exe, 7z.dll (x86 / x64)
- added 1 test file: 7-ZipPortable.exe

*** 7z.exe and 7z.dll are not needed for regular use, but have been included to extend the supported formats ***

In this post I stated that the Z-zip command line tool did not support Packed executables. While this is true, the main executable combined with it's DLL can be run from a command prompt, extending support.

I've created a simple RunProgram Procedure that will execute the desired command if the previous call to the Interface fails.
- most examples have been modified to the new format; update also includes various improvements

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Some important updates have been applied to the Interface allowing for more user control, including some bug fixes.
