Comforting message from 7za
« on: January 03, 2008, 02:15:00 PM »
For the first time ever I needed to decompress a 7zip file. I downloaded 7za for OS X, opened up a terminal and decompressed the file. Once it had finished, I was presented with the following message:

"Everything is OK."

For some reason I found this utterly heart-warming and comforting :lol: I wonder if that was the developer's intention? :-)

Sounds like some developer was having a very bad night... then after hours of debugging things just worked :-)

Yes, it's 7-Zip. 7za is the *nix 7-Zip archiver. I didn't know it could open .exe archives. Will be handy to keep around for when I want to get some data out of a Windows app without having to install it under Parallels. Everything is OK :-D

Pardon me Moto. I'm just curious. I've seen others do it too. When folks mention *nix, they put the mark on one of letters. Why is that?  :lol:

It means Unix compatible... that is to say a Unix clone (ie Linux or *BSD), not the real unix operating system.

Yes I know it's illogical, since I don't think any Unix compatible operating systems end with "nix". But it is a commonly used term for Unix-like OS.

Well ok, let me rephrase that. There are OSs which fall within the "*nix" family which do not end in "nix", although some might. E.g. Linux is classed as a *nix OS, but it doesn't end with "nix".

(#?n?x)|(#?BSD)

Or, since OS4 allows * like apparently was intended in AmigaOS for a long time:

(*n?x)|(*BSD)
