Subject: Why does ARCE require PKZIP?

I recently obtained ARCE40G.ZIP and noted something strange.  Is ARCE the only
unarchiver which is archived using a different format?  With LHARC, PAK and
PKZIP, all of these files were self-extracting files.  Why does an un-ARCing
utility require an un-ZIPer utility to extract it?
