Replace BFArchive?

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

Has there been any thought on replacing the BFArchive tool? I have actually added the 7za (command line very of 7zip) as a “utility” on my machines and have been using it instead. Couldn’t 7zip be incorporated into the agent and used by default? It is available for just about every platform that BigFix supports. That would allow any number of archive formats to be used and increase the compression ratio substantially when 7z format is used.
