Now Using 7-Zip Self-extracting Archives

We are now using 7-Zip self-extracting archives instead of zip archives; i.e. for portable NVDA snapshots and the NVDA Miscellaneous Dependencies package. 7-Zip archives provide better compression than zip archives and thus facilitate smaller file sizes. Also, self-extracting archives are more convenient for some users. If you want to perform operations other than extracting the entire archive, you can open these archives using 7-Zip.

Hello, Also if you like Total commander you will be able to browse these files as directories after downloading 7zip plugin developed by Adam Strzelecki. The 7zip plugin page at totalcmd.net is not working now but it may come back soon hopefully. I haven't found alternate download yet. Oh yeah latest version is 0.5.8. Here's the link: http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/7zip_plugin.html
