nomarch extracts files from the old `.arc' archive format. It can also
list and test such archives.
(nomarch is primarily intended as a `replacement' for the non-Free `arc'
program.)
paq is a family of archivers with the best lossless compression ratios now
available across a wide variety of test data, according to several benchmarks.
A comparison of paq to other compression methods, on a 2GHz T3200, when
compressing a large text file:
Format Size Time (sec) Memory

The port uses the open ZPAQ specification, and contains: a public-domain C++
API for reading and writing ZPAQ compressed data to or from files or objects
in memory; serial and multi-threaded archivers; extra preprocessors for
compression; and stubs for creating self-extracting archives.
This package handles LZF de/compression.
Rar is a powerful and effective archiver, which was
created by Eugene Roshal and became rather popular quite fast.
This extension gives you possibility to read Rar archives.
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.
The PHP_Archive package allows creation of self-contained cross-platform
PHP libraries or applications, similar to Java jar files.
Star is the fastest known implementation of a tar archiver.
Main advantages over other tar implementations:
fifo - Keeps the tape streaming.
pattern matcher - For a convenient user interface.
sophisticated diff - User tailorable interface for comparing tar
archives against file trees.
no namelen limitation - Pathnames up to 1024 Bytes may be archived.
deals with all 3 times - Stores/restores all 3 times of a file.
does not clobber files - More recent copies on disk will not be
clobbered from tape.
automatic byte swap - star automatically detects swapped archives.
automatic format detect - Automatically detects archive formats:
old tar, gnu tar, ansi tar, star.
fully ansi compatible - star is fully ANSI/Posix 1003.1 compatible.

Pixz (pronounced 'pixie') is a parallel, indexing version of XZ.
PHK is a PHP-oriented package/archive system. Basically, it can be considered
as a PHP-oriented equivalent of the Java jar format. As jar, PHK allows to
distribute and run a library or an application as a single file.
The PHK accelerator transparently makes PHK runtime faster.
Archive management tool for the ROX desktop, supporting a variety
of file formats.
