  archive
       
          1.  A single file containing one or (usually)
          more separate files plus information to allow them to be
          extracted (separated) by a suitable program.
       
          Archives are usually created for software distribution or
          backup.  tar is a common format for Unix archives, and
          arc or PKZIP for MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows.
       
          2.  To transfer files to slower, cheaper
          media (usually magnetic tape) to free the hard disk space
          they occupied.  This is now normally done for long-term
          storage but in the 1960s, when disk was much more expensive,
          files were often shuffled regularly between disk and tape.
       
          3.  archive site.
