Have now been told of the setting to force 7z to use PK format.

Yes.  Without the -t parameter, 7-zip compresses using its own 7z
format.  The header is not even recognized by PKUNZIP.  Don't know about
unzip at this time.  That project is on hold while I try to solve some
other problems caused by migrating from Win XP to Win 10.
