p7Zip 4.55 beta (DJGPP compile) available (Announce)

There a few more notes I should mention:

7-Zip (7ZA.EXE or P7ZIP.EXE) can now choose a filetype based on .ext of the archive being created. So, you don't have to use -tzip or -t7z or -tbzip2 but instead "7za a blah.7z *" or "7za a blah.zip *" or "7za a blah.bz2 blah.tar" instead.

P.S. For .7z format, defaults are (according to 7-zip.chm from Win32 cmdline version) -mx=5 -ms=on -m0=lzma. So, you only need to use "-mx=9" if you want max compression, or "-m0=ppmd" if you'd rather use a different algorithm (but PPMD requires more memory).
