Thanks for your feedback! We plan to start working on a ZIP component as soon as we are finished with our current project.
RAR - Unfortunately, I am very sceptical about RAR support – this uses a set of proprietary and patented compression algorithms and it is extremely unlikely we would be able to obtain a license to use them under the current terms of our components license (particularly royalty-free binaries redistribution with custom applications).
CAB - We have not investigated CAB support yet, ut some form of CAB support might be added later. It seems that this file format also optionally uses some proprietary algorithms, which might a problem, though.
TAR and GZIP - These will definitely be supported, although perhaps not in the first public release.
JAR - Seems to be based on ZIP format. Are there any JAR-specific features you need?
LZAP - What kind of format/algorithm is this? We don't know about it and can't find any information on it either. -
