  
      This command simplifies basic processing of Library Archive files.
 A  Library  Archive  file may contain several hundred VAX files stacked
 together end-to-end to conserve  disk  space.    The  basic  processing
 options are: 
  
  -CREATE  - (or "-C") Create a Library Archive File named "library-name".
  -LIST    - (or "-L") List the file index of a Library Archive File.
  -INSERT  - (or "-I:file-spec") Insert specified files into a Library.
  -EXTRACT - (or "-E[:file-id]") Extract a specified file, or all stored
                                 files, to be returned to original form.
  -SQUEEZE - (or "-S") Squeeze a Library to free unused space.
  
 If "library-name"  is  omitted,  "LIBRARY.ARC" is assumed.  The default
 file type is ".ARC". 
  
 All files inserted into a Library Archive File are  stored  with  their
 file-name  and file-type specifiers only (version numbers and directory
 names are omitted).  Also, the "file-spec" may contain  any  qualifiers
 recognized   by   the   VAX  "DIRECTORY"  command,  including  wildcard
 characters, "/BEFORE", "/SINCE", "/EXCLUDE", etc. 
 Each file inserted into a Library will replace any earlier file of  the
 same name.    When  a  file is replaced, it produces a section of empty
 deleted blocks.  This unused space  can  be  eliminated  by  using  the
 "-SQUEEZE"  option,  which  creates  a  new  compressed  version of the
 Library Archive File. 
  
      An individual file may be extracted from a Library  by  using  the
 "-EXTRACT" option  with  "file-id".    If the "file-id" is omitted, all
 stored files will be extracted. 
  
 The "-LIST" option can save a Library index listing in a disk  file  if
 the "-OUT" option is used. 
 The  Library  Archive  files  are manipulated as VAX/VMS text libraries
 using the VAX Command  "LIBRARY/TEXT".    For  more  information  about
 processing text libraries, see "HELP LIBRARY". 
  
 Examples:
  
  ARCHIVE -CREATE source.lib   <-- Create a Library named "source.lib"
  ARC -INSERT:*.FOR source.lib <-- Insert FORTRAN source files into Library
  AR -C                        <-- Create a Library named "LIBRARY.ARC"
  AR -I                        <-- Insert FLECS and/or FORTRAN files
  AR -L                        <-- List file index of "LIBRARY.ARC"
  AR -E                        <-- Extract files to their original form
  AR -I:"/SINCE *.FOR"         <-- Insert (replace) files modified today
  AR -I:"/EXCL=*TEST*.* *.FOR" <-- Insert FORTRAN; exclude test files
  AR -E:PROGX.FOR              <-- Extract one file by name
