[Coco] V-Term here... [Color Computer] Re: Terminal Program

[Little John]

Gene,
There are some unofficial 7-Zip versions for Linux here:
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
If you prefer, I can redo these files as ".zip" for you to put on your site. 
I've just gotten so accustomed to using 7zip that I sometimes forget it 
isn't nearly as widespread as zip... I think it's getting there though...
