If so, it is an older format, not a newer one, and not the core format of 7z, just supported for completeness. If not, then this is an issue that I cannot find any information about - perhaps you could point us to the information so we can stop recommending 7-Zip to others. > on fencepost didn't support it.

Even the non-Free unRAR source is available, it just comes with unacceptable restrictions on its use. So I'd be interested in what this new format is.
