Comparing the corresponding pieces, we get:

        ARC(tm?)                ZOO
        ---------------------------
        arc                     zoo
        pkarc/pkxarc            zoo
        pksfx                   sez
        arctool                 fiz
        arce                    booz OR looz
        pkfind OR arff          arff
        ???                     stuff

Looks pretty much even to me....
