Cracking Open an RPM

How does one disassemble an RPM?  I want to extract some files from a 
SuSE RPM without installing them.
My project is trying to resurrect WordPerfect Office 2000 for Linux, 
which dies when glibc 2.3.2 is installed.
I want to put the older compatible glibc in a system with glibc 2.3.2 
and set the environment variable for the WPO2KL
start up script to load the older lib.

With Debian, ar -x will do the trick, but this does not seem to work in 
SuSE.
