User Feedback :: Zip and Rar

Forgive a noob for his lack of knowledge, but can Damnsmalllinux create or extract zip and rar files?
It seems that (to me) that tar only does bzip and gzip.

I don't believe it does.

apt-get install zip rar unrar

The Linux version or rar/unrar has worked more reliably for me than the Windows equivalents.

I think zip and unzip are in there.
