I recently published on SourceForge this LGPL program:
<a href="http://peazip.sourceforge.net/" title="sourceforge.net">http://peazip.sourceforge.net/</a sourceforge.net>
It's a GUI frontend for p7zip, so allows create/browse/test/extract 7z and to browse/test/extract RAR archives (it also supports tar, zip, volume spanning etc).
Latest version (1.3, published 2007 02 02) supports also PAQ8F and PAQ8JD archives.
The application is statically compiled and only dependency on Linux is for libgdk_pixbuf library, other than that dependency the application can be used as autocontained, portable application, so can be used on different Linux distributions and desktop managers without installation.
I hope it may be useful to spread the use of 7z format on Linux, IMHO 7z is a great format!
