Introduction:

The wc7z.exe utility is a new Wildcat! tool included in build 454.16 that provides enhanced archive format support and integration with the Wildcat! virtual file system (wc:\ paths).

Key Features:

• Supports multiple archive formats including ZIP, RAR, 7Z, ARJ, and LZH
• Understands Wildcat! virtual file paths like wc:\file\area(1)
• Allows remote server access using the -server: switch
• Returns clean output for archive listings with the -ba switch
• Integrated into wcRefresh, and wcFTP/wcWEB viewers

Example Usage:

# List archive contents
wc7z l wc:\file\area(1)\example.zip
wc7z l -ba wc:\file\area(1)\example.arj

# Extract all or specific files
wc7z x wc:\file\area(1)\example.zip
wc7z x wc:\file\area(1)\example.zip *.txt

# Use a remote Wildcat! server
wc7z l -ba wc:\file\area(10)\example.7z -server:mainbbs

Notes:

• Compression (creating new archives) is not currently supported with wc:\ paths
• wc7z behaves like 7z.exe for all other functions outside of wc:\ integration
• 7z.dll is required and included with the Wildcat! distribution
