MacRPM Utilities is a simple, open source GPL'd bundle of utilities for MacOS Classic who together can display information about and extract files from Red Hat Package Manager archives commonly used for packaging Linux software.

What's New:
MacRPM
NavigationLib used for file placement instead of StandardPutFile
Menus altered to reflect cancellation of planned future features
Smaller application memory footprint (about 500 kilobytes of RAM vs 1 MB before)
Cancelling during the extraction process now deletes partially extracted file
Progress bar when extracting is now redrawn correctly
A few minor bug fixes.

MacCPIO
MacCPIO now requires MacOS 8.5 or later due to dependencies on newer Toolbox functions
NavigationLib used for file placement instead of StandardPutFile
It is now possible to extract many files at once
Much smaller memory footprint (about 1.5 MB of RAM versus 2.5 MB before)
Windows now have a zoom button
A few minor bug fixes.
