is a free, open-source archiver for Windows similar to 7-Zip with:
- more compression algorithms (as codec plugins)
- new GUI written from scratch
- new progress bar design
- 7ze archive format
- easy plugin interface for new codecs
- a configurable list where codecs can be defined for file extensions
This project runs by raising funds for freelancers as I am not a programmer. It can contain bugs which cannot be fixed by me.
You can have a look at the Issue list You can build the project or download the binaries (see below), run it on your system and report bugs or make enhancement proposals.

- there is no commandline executable and no 32-bit executable
- Compression settings are read from groups defined in the 7z.groups.ini file. To change compression of filetypes defined in that file, you need to edit this .ini file.
- when using the 7z.groups.ini file, you will need approx. 4 GB of free memory
- may contain bugs
