Speaking of archivers, I just stumbled across a Free unrar utillity, called unar. The one we have is proprietary. Developing a Free unrar utility was listed as one of the high priority targets at FSF. (http://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/free-rarv3-extraction) So if we coul'd make it work we should package it.

I tried to build it but I can't get it to compile, and there is no documentation that I can find, that fully explain the requirements for compiling. I suspect that someone who is a coder themselves might get this to work. and I'm not one of them.

If anyone want's to play with it and try to package it, here it is: http://unarchiver.c3.cx/commandline
