I noticed this too yesterday, and I couldn't download anything either (even his compile of p7zip 4.61, which is the latest although 7-Zip official is 4.62). Nevertheless, I decided to build my own, and it seems to work. (E-mail me if you want it. But it's still a fair bit slower than 7ZA + HX.)

For some reason, though, p7zip's makefile for DJGPP has a few defines that aren't needed (and uses -O, strangely), but it still builds fine ... except for using "-lsocket". Not sure what lib they mean because Richard Dawe's ls080b.zip doesn't work although I think I did accidentally build with it when using headers from WATT-32 (and it was like 200k smaller than the WATT-32 build, seemed to work too, but I don't trust it). Also, WATT-32 prints a LOT of (useless) warnings when itself is being built via GCC 4.3.2. Not sure if using something else (3.4.4) would cease some of that.

rr, you've built WATT-32 before, right? Any ideas about any of this?
