Vernon, I agree that jar is a nice (and oft' overlooked) compression utility
available on a lot of platforms.  But it won't open a 7z file, and I don't
believe it will create one.  I'm not sure of the need that drove the OP to
do this install, but there are many who need this utility from time to time.

I didn't mean to be posting about the ins and outs of 7zip.  I meant to be
posting about the benefits of keeping different filesystem types separate.
