The Internet Archive ARC format is different from and not compatible with the better-known ARC format popular on bulletin board systems in the 1980s. It consists of a series of uncompressed files or data streams (taken directly as received from the Web or another source) combined in a single file with headers giving the original location (URL) from which the data was retrieved, and the archive date.
The Internet Archive ARC format has a successor format, WARC (ISO 28500:2009, Information and documentation -- WARC file format).
