Post 7za on the website as a zip-archive (not 7z one)
A free file archiver for extremely high compression

7za comes very handily in cases where you need to quickly get 7-Zip functionality on a machine, that doesn't have normal 7-Zip installed (and where its installation is not possible). The only problem is that currently, it's available for download only as 7z-archive, which makes it impossible to unpack it unless you already have 7-Zip or another archiver (which makes it kind of a chicken and egg problem).
I think it makes much more sense to post it as a normal zip-archive, which can be unpacked with default tools on almost any system. This will make this tool much more accessible.

Hi Igor, thanks, this is even better. Is this link present on the website somewhere?
I've added it.
Thank you very much! I think this feature request can be closed now.
