OK, I feel like an idiot asking this.

You'd think, as long now as I've used a Mac I'd know the answer to this, but 
honest to God, I pulling a mental blankage here.  LOL!

I know that I can vo+shift+M on a file, and go to compress, and it then will 
create a zip file, and I also know that hitting command+O on a zip file will 
extract to the folder which I already am in, and yes I do have the unarchiver, 
but here lies my question.  What if I want to make say... oh? I dono, say... a 
.RAR file, or say... a 7ZIP file.  Or maybe I want to make a multi-Part RAR 
file, or maybe a password protected zip/RAR file, etc.  In Windows, this is a 
sinch.  I just use WinRAR.  On the mac, however, are there any free, prefered, 
or very reasonably priced... not prefered... apps that will give me all, or at 
least a fair amount of this flexability?

Thanks.

Chris.
