Bill,
most of the settings using a given program (eg 7-Zip) are identical for all archive formats. They depend on the program's output only. The settings that need to be modified per archive format are:
line 1 archiver name (to tell you which format you are looking at,
eg 3. 7-Zip for Zip [LFNU NAP] (always keep [LFNU NAP] for 7-zip
line 2 the extension
eg ZIP
the only two other settings that change are
line 3 the offset of the signature
and line 14 the signature
eg 0 and PK\x3\x4
These are independent of the program you are using. So you can copy them from the WINZIP entry for that particular archiver format.
Note that for reading an archive ZTree will use the first entry in archiver.bb2 with matching offset and signature. So if you want it to use 7-zip you must arange for it to be the first entry for the particular archive format.
Note2 Each archiver.bb2 entry must have EXACTLY 21 lines, not counting comments. If you get this wrong in one entry all later entries will fail.
Good luck,
Oliver
