Thank you! I have gone for a tweaked version of that (from looking at the 
mentioned packages and the upstream docs) and uploaded it to mentors. Would you 
be able to upload it?

    Description: Unarchiver for Spark and ArcFS files
     nspark "New Spark unarchiver" supports extracting from Spark and ArcFS 
files,
     which originate on RISC OS. It is a cross platform rewrite of David 
Pilling's
     original !Spark for RISC OS.

Here is the mentors stuff;
