After reading the following post, I searched for newer 32/64bit libraries that supported LZMA2: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?p=460177#p460177
- not tested, but documentation suggests that the newer libraries support the compression method

Information:
- Command Line Commands
- Command Line Switches

Again a great project of JHPJHP
Thanks a lot for all the works you sharing with us

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.

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.

You are doing a very good job for the forum JHPJHP
I mean it for all your stuff
Thanks

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

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

This could become handy, thanks!
