I'll have to try it out.  Coincidentally, I was just yesterday fooling around with a simple script to unpack and repack an extension.

Can peazip add to (or rebuild with additions) a squashfs file?

Nope.
Extracting - even selective extraction of single files - seems to work fine, and I managed to create a squashfs using "Custom" setting from GUI and pointing to 'mqsquashfs', but to me that is more time consuming than just directly using mksquashfs from CLI.
In brief, I see the benefit in browsing contents of extensions, but even more so of selectively extracting files from an extension whenever desirable, but less so for creating extensions.

Ok, so this shows actually more details than I would have wished...   :P
Glad it didn't show the age of the BIOS   :o

Checked out peazip.  It does not seem to support modifying the .tcz archives (nor even rebuilding_with_changes - which is probably a good thing as it would tend to break the "safety" of the extensions.

Altogether a useful program, though.  I think I'll keep it.

Perhaps you need the latest BIOS.tcz?

In addition to providing some (very) small amusement value, this post will some day annoy the living daylights out of some poor noob using the forum search function.   ;D

Edit: @noobs: there is no BIOS.tcz.  lee 2013-02-16 1427

Hehe   ;D
Actually... dmidecode.tcz would indeed show age of BIOS   ;)
