Since archives are made with so many different commands and are
structured so differently, it's nearly impossible to write a
un-archiver that does not act exactly as the shell the archive was
intended for.
I have the MKS tools which include a Korn shell for the PC. Korn
shell, for the most part, is a superset of Bourne shell, the shell
the archives are intended for. I have used the shell to un-archive
files on my PC. You can get the MKS tools for about $140 US. It's
a bit steep for your purpose alone but you may like the other things
the toolkit can do. See many various articles in this group for
a rundown on them.
