There are many programs that will do relatively the same thing. Some more known than others, and some for certain file formats. Because there are many file formats (.zip, .rar, .gz, .arj, .cab, etc....) sometimes you may need a specific utility for a format. The most common are .zip and .rar, but they are not necessarily the best.
