I forgot to mention that you probably have to stub the 7ZDECWAT.EXE
binary via either STUBX (D3X) or STUBIT (WDOSX) since it needs DPMI.
(Pure DOS usually doesn't have DPMI except DR-DOS 7.03.) Just a small
nit, but something to be aware of. (I need to make a note of that on
my page. It was a last minute change I forgot about, doh.)
