+The archive selector scans the known archivers in the order in which they
+are defined.  The selector first tries a signature match, unless this is
+suppressed in the settings.  If there is no signature defined or if
+the signature match is suppressed, the selector checks to see if the file
+extension matches.  The matching entry defines the commands used for the
+various archiving operations and supplies parameters that enable the archiver
+outputs to be parsed. Note&colon. this mean that if you have several archivers of a given type
+(i.e. ARC) defined only the first entry is tried since different archiver file names are sometimes
