Comparing apples and pears. I refused to "fix" the bug because it's a lot of work for virtually nothing. However, to be able to decide whether the bug reported by DOS386 is a bug in the 7zip port or in HDPMI, it doesn't matter how many people install HDPMI permanently.

That also doesn't matter and isn't "exactly the point". Even if there would be no author at all or the software just available as binary would be an acceptable argument. We still can discuss it, there might exist workarounds, configuration changes and other stuff which could help ...
