I can understand the addition of "[BOOT]" to exclude.lst (artifact from 7za extraction), but how about "boot.images"?
"[BOOT]" is to "7zip", what "boot.images" is to "IZArc".
If you take a look at the ubcd2iso scripts, you added (years ago) "boot.images" (to the tasks performed on "[BOOT]") so to support performing the extraction by means of IZArc (as alternative to 7zip).
I am just suggesting the same equivalent support for both, 7zip and IZArc, in the new ubcd2usb's exclude.lst too.
The background reason to support alternatives to 7zip is because there are certain cases where 7zip is "too strict" with certain "non-standard" archives (or images), so it fails to complete the extraction. Alternatives such as IZArc can help in those situations (among others).
On another matter (still regarding ubcd2iso), is there any interest (as in *real* need) on adding a Linux-based ubcd2usb.sh script too?
