Hi,

To my delight I found out that FPC actually provides quite a few archive handling libraries out of the box. Thanks to all that have contributed to
that! So far I found:

* tar
* tar.gz
* zip

Are there any other formats out there that I could use like out of the box?

bzip2 is directly supported in FPC packages as well.

There are 3rd party Pascal units supporting work with other archive formats (mostly listing and decompression) either using shared libraries, or containing direct implementation of certain functionality (there has been e.g. unrar.pas containing a port of the original C implementation to Pascal, although it wouldn't support current RAR format versions) and which might be compiled with FPC rather easily, but you're on your own there, of course.
