I believe that it is the binary name of the software described at

larch was the original implementation of Arch, thusly named because
there's already an 'arch' binary present on most systems. It was a
shell script and some C programs reimplementing FTP and whatnot. I've
never used it.

It looks as though baz is diverging from tla in terms of UI as well as
archive format. ArX ( http://www.nongnu.org/arx/ ), which I have also
never used, is a fork of tla that I believe is completely incompatible
by this point. I believe that there have been other Arch forks and
reimplementations, but I can't think of any of their names.
Canonical guys should feel free to correct me on any of this.
