Understood. I thought mik's version of 4.61 was built with pthreads, it sure reduces the bloat. If you are able to get a leaner compile of 4.65 with the mentioned patches and / or less bloat, it would come much appreciated to all. I wonder why mik isn't active anymore in this forum. He was an exceptional programmer and I absolutely loved his other DOS ports (MPLAYER, etc) which have gone missing since 2008.

david,
I can't get your binary of 9.13 working with the Delta (.wav) filter, or xz file types. Am I doing something wrong, using commandline 7za -mx5 -m0=Delta:4 -md=32m I get an "Unknown Error" returned.

The "bug" in PKWAre's DOS utilities is unforgivable, at least there is no way to over-ride it. I often use the 16-bit PKUNZIP because it is tiny, and fast. I had ZIPed many smaller files with 7ZIP's -mx9 option, only to find once I transfered the files, that they wouldn't decompress with PKUNZIP, nor is there any program that I know which will regenerate PKZIP headers... So I'm probably stuck with manually recompressing all those small .ZIP files with my patched version of 4.65
