Although it took me a good amount of time, because of (#1) vacations, (#2) summer work as a PHP coder and (#3) university, version 1.5 of my compressor, 7zX, is finally becoming a reality.
I just distributed version 1.5b1 to a first batch of trusted testers, in order to collect as many opinions as I can [...]
I finally updated the Products section of this site. Who knows what you could find in there?

In answer to AT&T customer Ed Kimball’s question:

After a chat with the developer of the tool used to compile 7zX, it has become clear that there is not much we can do to release a secure version of my software. Version 1.3.4 might be made available to the public soon, but will probably be only a repackaged version of 1.3.3. There will [...]
On April 11, 2006, a new version of 7zX had been released to the public. In the evening, however, an user sent us an important report, concerning the security of my product.
