archive 1. A single file containing one or (usually) more separate files plus information to allow them to be extracted (separated) by a suitable program. Archives are usually created for software distribution or {backup}. {tar} is a common format for {Unix} archives, and {arc} or {PKZIP} for {MS-DOS} and {Microsoft Windows}. 2. To transfer files to slower, cheaper media (usually {magnetic tape}) to free the {hard disk} space they occupied. This is now normally done for long-term storage but in the 1960s, when disk was much more expensive, files were often shuffled regularly between disk and tape. 3. {archive site}. (1996-12-08)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
archive site (Or "FTP site", "FTP archive") An {Internet} {host} where program source, documents, {e-mail} or {news} messages are stored for public access via {anonymous FTP}, {Gopher}, {World-Wide Web} or other document distribution system. There may be several archive sites for e.g. a {Usenet} {newsgroup} though one may be recognised as the main one. FTP servers were common on the Internet for many years before the {World-Wide Web} (WWW) was invented and are still used in preference to web servers for serving large files such as software distributions. This is because FTP is more efficient than {HTTP}, the protocol of the WWW. Many sites therefore run both HTTP and FTP servers. [Is FTP more efficient? How much more?] Some well-known archive sites include {Imperial College, UK (ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/)}, {UUNET, USA (ftp://ftp.uu.net/)}. See also {archie}, {GNU archive site}, {mirror}. (1998-07-02)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Argob stony heap, an "island," as it has been called, of rock about 30 miles by 20, rising 20 or 30 feet above the table-land of Bashan; a region of crags and chasms wild and rugged in the extreme. On this "island" stood sixty walled cities, ruled over by Og. It is called Trachonitis ("the rugged region") in the New Testament (Luke 3:1). These cities were conquered by the Israelites (Deut. 3:4; 1 Kings 4:13). It is now called the Lejah. Here "sixty walled cities are still traceable in a space of 308 square miles. The architecture is ponderous and massive. Solid walls 4 feet thick, and stones on one another without cement; the roofs enormous slabs of basaltic rock, like iron; the doors and gates are of stone 18 inches thick, secured by ponderous bars. The land bears still the appearance of having been called the 'land of giants' under the giant Og." "I have more than once entered a deserted city in the evening, taken possession of a comfortable house, and spent the night in peace. Many of the houses in the ancient cities of Bashan are perfect, as if only finished yesterday. The walls are sound, the roofs unbroken, and even the window-shutters in their places. These ancient cities of Bashan probably contain the very oldest specimens of domestic architecture in the world" (Porter's Giant Cities). (See {BASHAN}.)
