No, I don't know if cross platform creation of a Windows self-extractin=
g .exe=20
is possible.  I was hoping/assuming/researching that it was.

The only documentation that I found other than the man page is installe=
d=20
under:

/usr/lib64/p7zip/help/cmdline/switches/sfx.htm

It mentions that "SFX modules for installers are included in an externa=
l=20
package (7z_extra)", but haven't found it (or other sfx modules) on my =
system=20
and the online 7z_extra is full of MSWindows files, but not these modul=
es.

Perhaps it is not doable from a Linux system, at least not without inst=
alling=20
it first in a MSWindows VM to get the Windows modules out.  I will try =
that=20
next.
