(sigh) A hacker's job is never done. :-P

* BUG: "7za l 471*.zip" doesn't work without explicit quotes around wildcard spec
= solution: (disabling globbing with empty replacement function is needed as p7zip apparently handles it already, see DJGPP FAQ)

* BUG: -p echos your password to console (still? oops, see DOS386's old fix7zip TSR, if you can find it!)
= solution: -DENV_HAVE_GETPASS (but DJGPP's is limited to 8 chars and yet only cmdline switch "-pabcdefghi" fails if password was "abcdefgh")
+ N.B. not an ideal solution, 8 is way too short, needs patch to use DJGPP's getlongpass() instead

* BUG: (worst, IMHO) "7za a -sfx dumbname somedir" doesn't work except on same drive as 7zcon.sfx (similarly "p7zip l c:\tmp\471*.zip" fails from atop G:\ RAM drive)
= solution??: dunno ... something kludged up in argv[] ?? perhaps drive prefix is being deleted already? (needs further study)

All of these are old bugs that even "old stable" Khusraw's 9.13 had, so I don't guess I should feel too bad. Yeah, ugh, this util really needed a bit of cleaning up for us. Hopefully I can fix it. At worst, we don't have any less than we already had (e.g. older versions, Win32's 7ZA.EXE + HX, Info-Zip, etc).
