The basic "WinZIP" program <http://www.winzip.com/win/en/index.htm>; can handle that. A list of all the formats supported is available here: <http://kb.winzip.com/kb/entry/254>. I had the "7z" format added a few years ago. Handling of the "xz" format should be included in the next major update of the utility. -- Jerry ✌ FreeBSD.user@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
