Must be.  Just an update to what I said earlier.  I compiled p7zip from 
source and it did not work (actually the p7zip shell script does not 
work on Solaris 9 since mktemp does not exist there, so I'm talking 
about the binary 7z).  And, I checked sfw and I found that a package
of p7zip was made available on Monday.  So, I installed that.  But,
I get the same error message so it's not just my fat fingers.  That's
too bad since I just talked to PKWARE and if you have to ask, you can't
afford SecureZip.
