Hi Paul, It does, but I'm not sure if it does that natively or via the rar command line tool set. I once bought winrar for windows, and that license entitles you to use the command line tools on os10 as well, so I can unrar. Betterzip is a handy archiving tool that also compresses, rather than just decompression alone, so just give it a shot and download a command line trial for rar if you can't unrar natively.
