[LINUX_Newbies] 7zip OR p7zip?

r Jun 21 14:06:28 2013
Good afternoon
Thank You for help.

Sorry I cannot understand
7zip
or p7zip.

| Is there also a workshop
| for learning to use p7zip?

The p7zip command is called "7z". So the command "man 7z" shows you
the manual entry for that command. That should tell you how to use
it.

Sorry I cannot understand.

man 7zip
no answer in terminal.

man p7zip:
