to elimiate disambiguation and allow for multiple formats of the same information,
I propose moving the current template to {{Archive formats (by type)}} and creating a new templates such as {{Archive formats (by operating system)}}, and {{Archive formats (by archiver software}}.

.pkg files is Solaris have nothing to do with IPS! IPS doesn't have on-disk file format, it is distributed strictly over network, and the .pkg files are Unix SVR4 packages, so I am removing this bizarre mistake from the category. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.220.120.251 (talk) 00:09, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-10-01T00:09:00.000Z","author":"95.220.120.251","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-95.220.120.251-2010-10-01T00:09:00.000Z-.pkg_(Solaris)_and_IPS","replies":[]}}-->
