Is is at least a dozen different, and as it is now, ZOO is avaliable for almost every normal variant, whereas lharc is BSD only, and Unzip isn't publicated. Your Unix OS isn't the only in the world you know. I use D-NIX,SUNOS,BSD4.2,4.3 pyros 4.4,Microport 286 and Interactive 386ix. The only ones to compile without effort everywhere is ZOO and ARC. When these others is as portable I will shut up, but saying a program runs on 'UNIX' is kind of misinformation.
