Hi,
Can I compress multiple files/folders at ultra compression with 7zip?

I have a folder full of 10 directories(folders). Is there a single command for 7zip that would allow me to make 10 individual 7zip archives?

Thanks.

I was not familiar with Zip7 until I saw your post and did a little research on google.

On this link there are many questions answered in FAQ and also an option to ask your particular question too. In the left pane there are also Support and Forum options that may assist you.

I use the trial version of WinRar which seems to go on forever if you want to try it for your multible compression issue.

Please keep us posted how you get on.

kind regards,

Hi.
I was unable to find info to compress multiple files/folders at ultra compression with 7zip, however there was other useful info in the link you gave me. As I originally posted this thread a while back, I now use Ubuntu Linux as my primary OS. In saying that though I can use 7zip natively in Ubuntu via the terminal or use the 7zip exe via Wine.
