Under Unix (linux) unrar is available and I think the company that owns rar sell a linux solution too.

So, where's the code?
Original email from bogdanp (at) flamingo.ro below:
Hi, sqlite on Palm is not just doable, is done. You can find the source code attached .
It uses FileStream api for storage support, but i'me thinking more and more to port/transform page(r) specific functions by saveing each db page in separate db record. (makeing this, it will be able to suport syncronization).
To test it, i have done as fallows: created database - works; create table - works; insert 1000 records - works ; ( is a waste of memory to keep pages in Palm db system an allso in memory, it will double the size of your database; I must fix this. ) select - works;
Compatibility with desktop (sincronization): All the above tests have been done with OS4.0.1(extracted from my Palm 505) running on Emulator 3.5. After the tests had complete, I've exported the database from Emulator to my computer. A litle transformation had to be done to it before I could open it with sqlite Explorer: I had to convert it from Palm Stream Datatabase to plain content(remove PDB headers). It payed the effort.
>>"Anyway ... if you want to share some ideas/code/effort please let me know ;-)" because, I just did it.

So uhhh.... Where the heck can I get a copy of the code?, I don't see it here anywhere.... I'd love to have this to write some palm apps.
