(un)gzip is available for unix and dos.
unarj is available for unix and (un)arj for dos.
(un)zip is available for unix and (un)zip/pk(un)zip for dos.
lha is available for unix and dos (although I haven't used it).

As well as dos, there are version available for OS/2. 

You might have to watch .tar.gz/.tgz files from unix.  They
have been tarred, then gzipped.  I would suspect that tar
is also available for dos, but I don't use it...

Regards,
Greg
