Engrampa is an archive manager for the MATE environment. It is only a
front-end (a graphical interface) to archiving programs like tar and zip.
The supported file types are:
* Tar archives uncompressed (.tar) or compressed with gzip (.tar.gz , .tgz),

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.)
Archive::Extract::Libarchive has a similar interface to Archive::Extract, but
instead of using Perl modules and external commands, it uses the libarchive C
libary. It supports many different archive formats and compression algorithms
and is fast.
Mark Adler, maintainer of popular zlib library has released a multicore
capable Parallel Implementation of GZip, nicknamed PIGZ. Version 1.5
implements nearly all of gzip's functionality, including decompression
of .gz and .Z (Unix compress) files.
