Programmatically unarchiving files

Subject: Programmatically unarchiving files

What is the recommended way to open up archives? I know I can use BOMArchiveHelper via NSWorkspace but this will be done in a background program and I don't want the user to see progress windows popping up. I could use ditto/tar/bunzip but I would have to maintain mappings between archive types and the programs needed to open them. Not the end of the world but I'd prefer an easier way.

Also, it is important that this be done safely (so a blind 'open' would not be suitable because of potential file type spoofs).

TIA.

paul
