Since archives are made with so many different commands and are
structured so differently, it's nearly impossible to write a
un-archiver that does not act exactly as the shell the archive was
intended for.

I have the MKS tools which include a Korn shell for the PC.  Korn
shell, for the most part, is a superset of Bourne shell, the shell
the archives are intended for.  I have used the shell to un-archive
files on my PC.  You can get the MKS tools for about $140 US.  It's
a bit steep for your purpose alone but you may like the other things
the toolkit can do.  See many various articles in this group for
a rundown on them.
