No. AFAIK Jamie Zawinsky wrote a native 'interpreter' for Tape ARchive
files. It scans the structures, sees when a file or directory starts
and ends, sees times and permissions ...
There is no such mechanism to un-compress (LHarc, arc, zip, gzip, UNIX
compress, bzip2, Windows RAR and CABinet and PKzip, Mac OS Stuff and
much older stuff, ...)
