The writer and maintainer of this archiver is a member of the Debian forum, and he posted this update of PeaZip 1.8.1 on that forum. I have been using this on Debian for awhile, but I have just installed his rpm on Mandriva 2007 and it works great. I'm almost certain that it will also work on 2007.1. So I thought that I would post this here for those that would like to give it a try.

I use it too, it's quite good. But I would really liked to see a context menu services for it. Speaking of it, version 1.8.2 came out.

As an update, let me mention that PeaZip 2.1 recently was released. Unlike previous releases that were plagued with 'garbled' text in the last column when an archive was opened, PeaZip 2.1 is free of this little glitch. I have both the GTK1 and GTK2 standalone versions installed under /usr/local and both are functioning very nicely, although the GTK2 version opens much faster (3 seconds) than the GTK1 version (12 seconds) on my Pentium III 933 MHz machine.
