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.
