Download: http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/tigger/programs/lharc.zip
Description:
This is a port of the Unix "lharc" archive/dearchive utility (the source of ".LZH" files).Although SparkFS will read such files, it will not write them. Other ports of lharc exist, but all of them I've come across are limited in some way. This port may be a bit "beta" but it seems to work for me.

MakeLSFX is a public domain RISC OS command line utility to enable the creation of RISC OS self extracting zip files of up to 2GBytes in size. It does this by attaching a header to unzipsfx to enable it to be used as a command file as well as an absolute (executable) file.

PackDir v2.04 (84KB)
Status: Freeware
Homepage: http://web.inter.nl.net/users/J.Kortink/software.htm
Download: http://web.inter.nl.net/users/J.Kortink/progfiles/packd204.bin
Description:
PackDir is an extremely fast file archiver. It can take a set of files and put them all together in a single archive file. It can also perform the reverse process, i.e. it can exactly recreate the original set of files from the archive file. To make archive files as small as possible, PackDir can perform lossless compression on file data, which reduces the archive's size typically to about 50% (or even much less, depending on the nature of the file data).
