Anyone have a file archiver like RIP -- that does not DO the file ?

RIP.r is ok for most things...
However, need a file archiver that
I can use to un-compress huge group of files
after FTP-ing to web-server.
Don't want to put the file in CGI-BIN and have to mark
executable... that is the way a RIP file would have
to work.
Anybody done something like that?

i would use rip in this way:
upload rip-file to %boss-upload.r
have a cgi which does %boss-upload.r, with password check
upload and call cgi, both by rebol

I don't but I suggest modifying rip.r:
It should watch a special directory,
polling every number of seconds.
You can call it "compressed/", for eg.
When you upload some files into this
directory, they are noticed by rip.r
and moved to another directory to
be decompressed ("decompressed/"),
and the compressed archive deleted.
You then change directory to
decompressed/
to get the files you
are interested in.
So the overall process for the user is:
1) upload to one location
2) download from another location
You have just one program running on
the server, too.
