{title:Description}

{pstd}
{cmd:check7z} checks if 7-Zip is installed and can be found in the standard
PeaZip directory or the system's PATH environment variable. It returns 
{cmd:r(sevenz_available)} which equals 1 if 7-Zip is ready to go and 0 if it is
not available or cannot be found.

{pstd}
{cmd:check7z} also sets the global macro {cmd:gziputil_path_7z}. If you did not
install PeaZip in the standard directory and do not want to change the PATH
environment variable, you may want to set {cmd:gziputil_path_7z} to a 7-Zip path
which can be understood by Windows PowerShell.
