Probably not at all, since there isn't a gzip-like file format or wrapper that supports LZMA. Since .7z supports a lot of compression formats and options (unfortunatly saving unix ownership and mode attributes isn't one of them so be careful there!) it would probably be easier to just import p7z - and that's probably out of the question. It's available in the ports just fine. --------------enig0906BFF8D1AC19451A7DE081 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkksPaQACgkQldnAQVacBcjJxACgmRBxCKVtadUtczpd8IY4yaU9 +NoAoIR6nyD8K81UC1xzYvwUp53duHZg =DfHr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig0906BFF8D1AC19451A7DE081--
