File Extension .ARC Author: System Enhancement Associates (ARC), Activision (Cabela?s African Safari), Accelrys Software Inc. (Insight II)

archived files created by old versions of the ARC program use The ARC file extension. The now defunct company System Enhancement Associates (SEA) developed the application. The launch of the PKWARE software resulted in a trademark and copyright battle between the makers of the two archiving programs. The court ruled in favor of SEA.

The ARC program was one of the first programs that compressed several files into archives with the .arc file extension. Unlike ZIP files, archives that have the file extension .arc contain several files but do not support folder structures and directories.

The .arc file extension was used as a standard for compressed files in early MS-DOS and Mac systems. Files that were often used in the 90s and 80s use the file extension .arc. Archives that have the ARC file extension can contain more than one compressed file. The format is no longer widely used and the process has been replaced by other compression methods.

Another compression program that uses the ARC file extension is the FreeArc program. The program uses several kinds of algorithms to create and extract archives. One of the formats supported by the program are archives that have the ARC file extension.

Activision?s game Cabela?s African Safari also uses the ARC file extension. The file extension .arc is used to save data that are needed for the game. Files using the .arc file extension contain images, audio and other information that are needed by the game.

The Insight II program from Accelrys Software Inc. also uses the .arc file extension. Insight II is used as an educational tool for molecular research. The program can create models and uses algorithms to test them. Some research processes used by the program are for homology modeling, de novo design, electrostatis and molecular dynamics. Files with the ARC file extension contain the Carthesian Coordinate Archive File of the program. The .arc file extension is added to files that contain algorithm data that are referenced by processes of Insight II.
