Hello, Maybe not buffer overrun. A much simpler example.

I want to create a file called bs.7z which contains the files in the index with the files recorded as having their relative path.

I have googled for it. https://superuser.com/questions/545442/how-do-i-archive-with-subdirectories-using-the-7-zip-command-line-or-how-do-i...
