The Archive Utility that comes with OSX (located in
System/Library/CoreServices for some reason) will uncompress a dozen or
so file formats including zip, bzip2, gz, tar, tgz, jar, compress (.Z)
uuencode and others. So for most people it's all you'll need. Stuffit is
a pretty old format which isn't used much anymore. It could handle the
old (pre-OSX) Mac file format with its data and resource forks. Today
OSX stores everything in plain old files so standard .zip pretty much
works for everything.

What is a good, accessible unarchiving program for various compressed
files like .zip etc?
I have downloaded a program called StuffitExpander, but haven't tried
it yet and have no idea if its accessible. I suppose I should follow
my own advice and just give it a try and find out for myself, but
thought I'd ask the experience of the list.
I have noticed that just opening (command O) a .zip file on the mac
will automatically unzip it and place its contents in a folder. Is
that functionality limited to only .zip extensions?
I need this for unarchiving sound fonts that I'm hunting for on the web.
