I cannot remember the reason why this has been archived. If it was not 
due to a maintainer's request to do so, then probably because the 
package does not pass checks OK any more and the maintainer was 
unresponsive.
In any case, you can get the old source package from the archives and 
install and check it yourself.

Since the package is GPL 2 according to the DESCRIPTION file, you could 
take over maintainership and submit a new version to CRAN.

Best,
