I am aware of the Sun Java JAR utility, but I think it's command line based, yes? I 
was hoping 
to get one that is GUI based, either shareware or freeware. I saw another one on the 
net that is 
free called Ultimate Zip, which claims to handle JAR but when I tried to even open a 
JAR file 
for New Modern, it just hung. At least Win Zip 8.0 can open a JAR file and extract 
files without 
problems.
