The archive space is meant for TI's extra programs, and for third party
programs.  When properly registered in TI's flash area, they do not
erase when the calc is reset.  TI has made that area available as 'RAM'
so that those who choose not to fill it up with registered programs can
fill it up with other things which will be 'lost' when the calc is
reset.
