Does anyone know of an archiving app (preferably free, as I don't have a credit card) for Mac that allows one to view the files of the archived file without actually extracting said files? I already have an app for extraction, but it doesn't allow for viewing, which I need specifically for what I'm trying to do.

- Way... way too many specs to list.
If it's a zip, you can already do this at the command line. The unzip command has an option for list. The syntax is:
unzip -l <file>
as follows (listing the contents of a Geekbench download)
unzip -l <file>
as follows (listing the contents of a Geekbench download)
Code:
Mikes-iMac:Downloads mike$ ls |grep .zip
Geekbench-2.2.3-Mac.zip
Mikes-iMac:Downloads mike$ unzip -l Geekbench-2.2.3-Mac.zip
Archive: Geekbench-2.2.3-Mac.zip
