Speech & Pronunciation

just a matter of taste?

Hi,

I have got a tech speak related question.

There is a piece of software named "archWrite". This sw is used to archive some data to some media .... and so the tool's original full name might have been "archive writer" or something like that.
Now, to my question.
How would you pronounce "arch" in "archWrite"? like in "archangel? or "archbishop"?

mus-te

If I knew it was used for archiving, I would pronounce it like Noah's Ark. but if I had no idea what it did or where the name might originate, I would just take a chance, which is 50-50.
