7-zip is a compressed file archive format, and p7zip is the Linux port. 7-zip homepage:

The guys are discussing implementing p7zip in Easy:

I have compiled p7zip in OpenEmbedded, and added it to the EasyOS package-list, so it will be builtin. I also fixed the mime-handling, so if click on a .7z file it will open in Xarchive, or right-click on a .7z file then Xarchive will be offered in the menu. Rox will also display .7z files with a suitable icon.
