- Description
- An ARC archive is a compressed file archive from the MS-DOS and bulletin-board era, made by SEA's ARC program; unrelated to Norton backup files that also use .arc.
- A ZIP file is an archive that contains one or more files compressed or "zipped" using Zip compression. It stores files separately from each other allowing the files to be compressed using different methods and extracted without compressing or decompressing the entire archive.
