File Roller
 File Roller is an
archive manager for the GNOME
desktop environment. It performs file compression
and archiving functions.
This
utility can create and modify archives, view the contents of an
archive, view a file contained in the archive, as well as extract files
from the archive.
File Roller provides a friendly front-end
(a graphical interface) to archiving programs like tar and zip,
avoiding the user having to remember the different flags needed to
perform certain functions.
