+nomarch lists/extracts/tests '.arc' archives. (It also handles '.ark'
+files). This is a *very* outdated file format which should never be
+used for anything new, but unfortunately, you can still run into it
+every so often (especially if you mess about with old CP/M stuff). So
+nomarch is a handy as a way to deal with these files.
