After trying several, the only one I could find that works perfectly
and even handles multipart .rar files is ICEOWS. The program is a
dream. Seriously, don't even waste your time on other ones:

http://www.iceows.com/HomePageUS.html

"ArjFolder has become ICEOWS (Interface de Compression Ergonomique
pour windOWS). ICEOWS integrates all the functionality of ArjFolder
3.65 with newly added features.

ICEOWS is written to compress or extract archive files easier. With
ICEOWS you can extract, test, read properties and comments or view
files stored in ICE, ARJ, ZIP, GunZip, TAR, Microsoft CAB, RAR, ACE,
MIME, Mac HQX, UUEncode, XXEncode, Base64, JAR, EAR, WAR, LHA, IMP,
BZ2 files without an external program. If the archive is an ICE, ARJ
or ZIP, you also can add, update and delete files stored within the
archive. It integrates all of these functions in the same explorer
interface that Windows 9x, Me, NT or XP has. ICEOWS adds a new ICE
format which is excellent for reducing the size of text files."

ArjFolder; like the Baliol claim to Scotland's throne, it just *refuses* to
DIE!!!!

Yeah, but what can I say? It works perfectly and I really like it.

Perhaps I became somewhat overwrought. My experiences with it (ArjFolder)
date back a number of years, to nearabouts slightly after Win95 forst arrived
on the scene.
My memories w/win-arj were not pleasant, to say the least. Good luck.

Sorry to hear that. I was looking only for rar support and actually,
that's the only file type I have the program associated with. It does
that job nicely. I'd tried IZArc:

http://www.izsoft.dir.bg/

but it always choked on multipart rars. ICEOWS doesn't.
