Do you want to collect a number of files in various formats in one
file to be able to extract any file from the resulting collection?

Or, do you want to collect information contained in different files
in one single file in only one format?

I cannot say anything about the second case.

For the first case, there are archive creaters like tar, pax, &
cpio.  See manual pages for respective commands, and some of the
articles from a larger collection ...
