At all, for .zip files.

Its support for zip archives is sporadic at best. On one GNU/Linux
system I tried it, it insisted that a .zip file format was
unsupported, although its Windows version that was older unzipped it
with no trouble at all. Go figure. And the fact that it doesn't have
a switch to make it silent, and you need to throw away its stderr
(which means you cannot display error messages) is yet another
nuisance.

I have nothing against adding support for 7z archives, although that
would be a new feature.
