In Windows, I used to use PowerArchiver, which supports pretty much everything under the sun, until it was no longer freeware and have since found ZipGenius (free) which also seems to do the same. I have some issues with it crashing now and then and it doesn't seem as stable as PowerArchiver was, but the worst that has happened to me is having to force ZipGenius to close and then re-open the archived file. http://www.zipgenius.com/ -- John D.
