The program has in-line help but the syntax is missing a crucial piece 
or information; where the archive name should go. The correct syntax for 
your purpose follows.

ar -u archive_name path_name

The archive name will be of the type name.ar and the path_name can be 
either a complete path ( /D0/GAMES/KRIFT/* ) or local KRIFT/* depending 
on your current location. So if you want to archive SYS and you are in 
the root directory the command could be:
ar -u sys.ar SYS/*
