I am trying to reach compressed file size from the command line client that I obtain if I use the 7-Zip gui client and set compression level to "Ultra". The settings I am using on the command line are as follows:

"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -sfx7zC.sfx -r -m0=LZMA:mf=bt4b:d=32M:fb=139:a=2 -ms=on -mf=on -mhcf=on -mhc=off archivedfiles.exe archivedfiles\*

What do I need to alter? Right now there is a 90,000 byte difference in size for a file that is approximately 4.9MB when compressed with the GUI client.

  Ultra means -mx switch (-mx9).
