If it has not, then the program should be able to safely continue,\nunless it encounters an unexpected member in the archive (except at the end), as described\nbelow.\n\nThe second, last required member is named data.N, where N denotes the part number. It\ncontains the raw part data.\n\nThese members must occur in this exact order. Current implementations should ignore any\nadditional members after data.N.  Further members may be defined in the future, and (if\npossible) will be placed after these two.\n",
