There's a System archiver and an Application archiver.   The intent of 
the System archiver is to store attributes like those one might find in 
a system registry (Windows) or in RC files on Unix (e.g. .bashrc).    
One thing the System archiver is used for is to store Window locations, 
e.g. if you press `Save'.

There's nothing magic about HOME.  On native Windows 7 the path it 
should probably use is c:\Users\USERNAME, or some subdirectory of that.  
However you can acquire such a path is fine.   SWARMHOME is really only 
important for finding the Tcl/Tk support files.
