Yes, certainly.  Both ARC and LHARC (and hopefully soon ZIP) can do
what you want.  You can download the MsDos versions from practically
any BBS and many ftp sites by anonymous ftp.  If you use uwasa.fi
archives see the /pc/pd2 directory.  For the Unix version see the
/unix/ts directory at uwasa.fi.
