Hrmmm....may be I struggled over my own limited English in this conversation. With "(nice tool! use it! :O)))" I meant "Atool is a nice tool and I want to recommend it." Unfortunately I dont know exactly, whether I understood you right: "Can't see where you'd use it?" Do you want to know why/when I use it? If so: A comparison: Packing a sourcetree with p7zip, preserving as much information a possible, conventional way: tar cvf - | 7z a -si .7z - With apack: apack .7z I think, this clearifies things a little ?! :O) Keep zshing and have a nice weekend!
