Actually, it seems to assume .7z type by default, so if you want to "update" ('u' command) or "delete" ('d' command) in a .ZIP or .TAR, you have to also use "-ttar" or "-tzip", then it'll work for them too (as mentioned above, in SFN).

Actually, when curdir is on C:, it works okay doing "7za l g:\somedir\myfile.tbz". It's just when sitting atop G: that it for some reason doesn't work reading from C:. (Verified in Khusraw's also.) Apparently a good workaround is "7za l c:c:\somedir\blah.tbz". So I guess the POSIX port is removing the drive name (or maybe only when prefix is "c:") explicitly somewhere.

I was also worried that it wouldn't work without a C:\TMP directory, but renaming mine didn't show any obvious errors in light testing. There is at least one place where it's hardcoded, but I didn't look too closely, so I didn't mess with it (yet).

Just FYI.
