DESCRIPTION

14       Ark is a program for managing various archive formats  within  the  KDE
15       environment.  Archives  can  be viewed, extracted, created and modified
16       from within Ark. The program can handle various formats  such  as  tar,
17       gzip, bzip2, zip, rar and lha (if appropriate command-line programs are
18       installed). Ark can work closely with Konqueror in the KDE  environment
19       to  handle  archives,  if  you install the Konqueror Integration plugin
20       available in the kdeaddons package.
