p7zip in general or just this version?

Strange, it IS a DJGPP compile. I got errors when trying to make it myself. Somebody must've tweaked it on their end as the pre-made makefiles don't work.

Obviously he means 4.65 is the "stable" version, i.e. more reliable and bugfixed than 4.58 (see changelog).

2.04 stub, so it has the 4 GB fixes. If it can't allocate memory, either you don't have enough, your memory manager is eating (or hiding) it, or you should use CWSDPMI (esp. latest r7) with swapping enabled.

At first I thought you meant HX + Win32's 7ZA, but apparently not. Sure, that way is great but lacks swapping (but much easier to upgrade). Default is -mx=5, which is normal compression. Anything higher uses more memory. You might have to use -ms=8m -m0d=8m to force it to only use 8 MB dictionary (or whatever).
