I'm going to make this less confusing: Extracts these formats/extensions: .7z,.ace, .arc., .arj, .bin, .cue, .bz2, .tbz2, .tar.bz2, .cpio, .deb, .b64, .uu, .uue, .xx, .xxe, .yenc, .ntx, .gz, .tgz, .tar.gz, .img, .cab, .1, .lib, .iso, .kgb, .kge, .lzh, .lha, .Z, .tz, .tar.Z, .lzo, .mht, .cab, .imf, .chm, .??_, .lit, .hlp, .dbx, .pea, .rar, .001, .rpm, .sis, .sit, .tar, .tar.z, .uha, .dll, .msi, .msp, .zip, .jar, .xpi, .wz, .zoo -- as well as various .exe's from different formats. Check out the Open Source software credits on the homepage. This little gem appears to be all you need for extraction.

This is important to note. Extracts but doesn't archive. Haven't actually tried it yet. Supported Formats As of v1.5, UniExtract uses TrID to determine the filetype of any given file. If this detection fails, file extensions are used as a backup identifier. The table below is a reference of known-supported filetypes and common extensions; any supported archive types should work regardless of actual extension.
