Someone suggested that Phil Katz should have used .ARK for a file
extension.  That is already in use by the CP/M program that makes
MSDOS-compatible archives.  The .ARK extension was chosen to indicate
that the program was for CP/M rather than MSDOS because some BBS systems
carry files for both operating systems.
