.QWK packets are usually archived with what archiver you specify to the
BBS software. BBS software that does not support it seems obsolete, I'd
say. Update :)

So, lowest common denominator is ARC. GSHK undoes that. Or use ZIP (PMPUnZIP).
Or LHA (LHExt, LHA). Or ZOO (booz, GSHK). Or ARJ (UnARJ). That's no problem,
really.
