.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fIAr\fR allows groups of files to be put together into a single archive.
It is normally used for libraries of compiled procedures. \fIAal\fR is like
\fIar\fP, but is to be used with the ACK compiler. The following keys
are allowed:
.PP
.ta 0.25i 0.50i
.nf
\fBd\fR: Delete. \fIAr\fR will delete the named members.
\fBm\fR: Move named files. \fIAr\fR expects \fIa\fR, \fIb\fR, or \fIi\fR to be specified.
\fBp\fR: Print the named files (list them on \fIstdout\fR)
\fBq\fR: Quickly append to the end of the archive file.
\fBr\fR: Replace (append when not in archive).
\fBt\fR: Print the archive's table of contents.
\fBx\fR: Extract

\fBb\fR: Before \fIposname\fR
\fBc\fR: Create (suppresses creation message)
\fBi\fR: Before \fIposname\fR
