OK David, but that only compresses to a simple zip file. That isn't what I'm trying to do.

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?
