@Beef
Yeps you are right. but I assumend the basic options would be the same between the different OS-es

@Anubis
depends wether you want recursion or not
without:
Code:
7z a result.7z directoryname
with
Code:
7z a -r result.7z direcotryname
offcourse you can specify -m parameter to improve compression

here are some useful options
Code:
