Description:
This program is called "e", but RAA does not let me use this
for the name so it is named differently.

e is a command line utility that extracts lots of different
archives. It is very simple to use and can be extended very
easily.

Now it has more than 28 different extraction rules, and supports
zip, rar, 7zip, gzip, bzip2, rpm, cab, arj, ace, ppmd, lzo,
tar.bz2, tar.gz, ar, cpio, dar, uharc, zzip, and several
more.

Usage:

* Extract a zip file:
  e file.zip

* Extract a rar file:
  e file.rar

* Extract several archives, one after another:
  e a.tar.gz b.tar.bz2 c.cab d.deb e.rpm

* Extract every file from the current directory:
  e *

e is just an interface to extraction tools, so you need to
install these if not already available.

If possible, e identifies the file format by the content and
not by the extension, so for most filetypes e can extract it
no matter how you name it. It supports rar, zip, tar.gz, 
tar.bz2, cab, ace, 7zip, dep, rpm, lha, lzop, rzip, and some
more; it is very easy to extend it to support other 
compression utilities.
