File Roller is an archive manager for the GNOME environment. Archive manager
means that you can create and modify archives, view the content of an archive,
view a file contained in the archive, and extract files from the archive.

File Roller is only a front-end (a graphical interface) to archiving programs
like tar and zip. The supported file types are :

* Tar archives uncompressed (.tar) or compressed with gzip (.tar.gz , .tgz),
bzip (.tar.bz , .tbz), bzip2 (.tar.bz2 , .tbz2), compress (.tar.Z , .taz),
lzop (.tar.lzo , .tzo)
* Zip archives (.zip)
* Jar archives (.jar , .ear , .war)
* Lha archives (.lzh)
* Rar archives (.rar)
* Single files compressed with gzip, bzip, bzip2, compress, lzop
 
File Roller also has a document viewer based on bonobo that lets you view files
of any type you have a viewer for.

Former WinZip users may find this program useful. It serves the same purpose.
