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.
