7zX version 1.7.1 is an archive creation/extraction tool based on
p7zip's POSIX port of 7-Zip. For Mac OS's 10.4+

> Features:
>
> Built for all Macs
>  All components included in 7zX are Universal Binaries; they are
> designed and built to provide the best possible performance on
> Apple?s new Intel based Macintosh computers. As with all Universal
> Binary software, 7zX is also compatible with older PowerPC based
> Macs.
>
> Resource Forks, Spotlight Metadata
>  The Mac OS stores important information such as icons,
> creation/modification dates, type and creator, user privileges and
> Spotlight metadata in a particular construct, named resource fork.
> 7zX can preserve this information, archiving them together with
> regular data in 7z archives.
>
> Self-Extracting Archives
>  When sending data, it is essential to make sure that every user
> capable of receiving your files will be also able of opening them.
> 7zX is capable of create self-extracting archives, compatible with
> any Macintosh running Mac OS X 10.3 or higher.
>
> Password Protection, Powerful Encryption
>  The ability to handle password-protected archives has been only
> recently introduced in 7zX, but certainly represents a welcome
> addiction. The 7z archive format supports Aes-256 encryption,
> approved by NSA to protect classified Top Secret information.
>
> Segments/Multi-volume archives
>  With 7zX, it is possible to divide large archives into smaller
> segments, or to join such segments to recreate the original file.
> Typically, this becomes useful when you have to store a huge file or
> folder using CDs/DVDs, or to work around attachment size limits most
> providers impose.
>
> Cross-platform solution
>  Being based on the excellent open-source project 7-Zip, this
> software can create archives compatible with any popular operating
> system, such as Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. But that?s not all: even
> less common operating systems, such as BeOS or FreeBSD, are
> supported!

Note: This software wants to phone home when run (always?). The site
it tries to reach is no longer valid. This behavior can be turned off
using a firewall, such as [Little Snitch][6].
