That's because Carol is using a different archive format to me.

No it doesn't. The DNSResolver module SWI interface is being
redesigned and I don't want applications relying on it apart from SWIs
&46000 and &46001 yet. I am discussing the situation with ANT (SWI
chunk owner) so that we can define an interface for arbitrary lookups
which will be compatible across the ANT module and my own.
