Alternate compression tools

[computerbob]

Is it possible to specify different compression tools in place of the zip utility that is bundled with the package - I have had super success with 7zip and would like to use it to compress very large files prior to transfer.

Thank you-

Not at this time but we want to add 7zip compression support next year.

7zip compression support is a great idea!

I am also transmitting very large files and 7zip is great.

Any news on including support for 7zip?
