I believe 7-Zip can open RAR archives.

Was just going to mention 7-Zip after reading GP post, then read yours.

Yes. I've used 7-Zip some, earlier, and found it to be quite good. IIRC, from both command-line and GUI.

And IIRC the command-line options were like tar; they could be typed without a leading hyphen.
7-Zip's GUI is very lacking, at least on Windows it doesn't have the basic feature of opening the folder where you extracted the files automatically
Use Peazip then.
... Or just stick with WinRAR, which works better than both of those, and is still supported?
And is closed source with an annoying pop up on every startup.
