Handle archive files
<HR>
<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>archive write</B> | <B>read</B> <I>filename</I> <BR><BR>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>archive</B> command handles archive files. The exact
operation depends on the option, and are outlined below:
<DL>
<DT> <B>archive write</B> <I>filename</I>
<DD> creates and writes to the file <I>filename</I> a copy of
the contents of all database cells. <P>
<DT> <B>archive read</B> <I>filename</I>
<DD> recovers the database from the contents of the saved archive
file <I>filename</I>. <P>
</DL>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Archive files use the same format as crash recovery files, which is a
single file containing all database files with additional metadata
about the original location of each file.
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>archive</B> is implemented as a built-in command in <B>magic</B>.
