I know you're loathe to make anything more than the minimal changes
necessary to port 7z to *NIX, but I highly doubt the original Windows developers
would be willing to put any effort/time into this request so I'm asking here.

I would like some sort of switch which can force the output of the "L" (list archive
contents) switch to list only the contents, omitting the usual header and
summary info above and below. While I know I probably could accomplish this
via the *NIX 'head' and/or 'tail' commands, the purpose for which I make this
request precludes their usage.

I am attempting to find a good CD/DVD catalog program that can scan the
contents of various archive formats. So far I've settled on GTKtalog (although by
no means am I bound to it if you know of a better one - particularly since none of
the ones I've looked at seem to be maintained currently). It uses MIME types to
determine how to handle a file and I can't seem to find a way to make it handle
piped output, so I need the program that dumps the archive (e.g. 7z) to output
the pertinent info only.

Thanks for your time!
