Used to use that - but it seems stuck at ver 2.5 something - I believe 
it is no longer supported.

In any case it had trouble running under os later than 9.0 and does not 
at all understand the newer rar format (since ver 3) which abandoned 
the .r01 .r02.....s.xx etc file extension format.

Stuffit also does not understand the current rar format.

There is a simple unRAR utility that runs under osx but I have not 
tried it.

Too bad, rar is a very useful compression scheme, great for mulitmedia. 
Hope someone ports a full implementation to osx before long.
