Archive::Extract is a generic archive extraction mechanism. It allows you to extract any archive file of the type .tar, .tar.gz, .gz or .zip without having to worry how it does so, or use different interfaces for each type by using either perl modules, or command line tools on your system.

This is a compression program optimised for large files. The larger the file and the more memory you have, the better the compression advantage this will provide, especially once the files are larger than 100MB. The advantage can be chosen to be either size (much smaller than bzip2) or speed (much faster than bzip2).

lzop is a file compressor which is very similar to gzip. It uses the LZO library for compression services and its main advantages over gzip are much higher compression and decompression speed (at the cost of some compression ratio). lzop is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

The macutils collection can handle a number of different Macintosh file formats including Binhex, MacBinary, AppleSingle and AppleDouble. There is also support for the Columbia Apple-talk Package. This package contains the following utilities: macunpack hexbin macsave macstream binhex tomac frommac Check out the man pages and /usr/local/share/doc/macutils (or equivalent on your system) for more information.

Nulib is a shell-based NuFX archive utility, based loosely on ARC for the IBM PC and ar(1) under Unix. It allows you to perform certain operations on the same archives used by ShrinkIt, e.g. view archive contents, add to archive, extract from archive, and delete from archive. Additionally, it will list and unpack files from Binary II archives.

CamlBZ2 provides OCaml bindings for libbz2 (AKA bzip2), a popular compression library which typically compresses better (i.e., smaller resulting files) than gzip. Using CamlBZ2 you can read and write compressed "files", where files can be anything offering an in_channel/out_channel abstraction (files, sockets, ...). Also, with CamlBZ2 you can compress and decompress strings in memory using the bzip2 compression algorithm.

par2cmdline-tbb is the tbb version of the par2cmdline tool. par2cmdline is a program for creating and using PAR2 files to detect damage in data files and repair them if necessary. It can be used with any kind of file. Par files are especially popular on Usenet.

Parity v2 Archive create/verify/recover par2cmdline is a program for creating and using PAR2 files to detect damage in data files and repair them if necessary. It can be used with any kind of file. Par files are especially popular on Usenet.

PBZIP2 is a parallel implementation of the bzip2 block-sorting file compressor that uses pthreads and achieves near-linear speedup on SMP machines. The output of this version is fully compatible with bzip2 v1.0.2 (ie: anything compressed with pbzip2 can be decompressed with bzip2).

PEAR::File_Archive is strongly object oriented. It makes it very easy to use, writing simple code, yet the library is very powerful. It lets you easily read or generate tar, gz, tgz, bz2, tbz, zip, ar (or deb) archives to files, memory, mail or standard output. See http://poocl.la-grotte.org for a tutorial.
