Bonjour Charles,
 CF> Is there an internet ftp or www that is the best place to obtain the
 CF> newest versions of your compression program?
FTP main site : ftp.std.com (in the directory /ftp/pub/arj)
But there are a lot of many other sites, such as Garbo, etc.
World-Wide-Web :
http://www.info.fundp.ac.be/~fta/arj.html
New this week: WinARJ v2.5
 CF> But with the issue of 2.x versions of both, and better/faster
 CF> compression with both pk and arj I have not been able to obtain any
 CF> increased compressio n.
To maintain compatibility. But you can try SARJ to improve performances, or 
to wait for JAR (new archiver from ARJ Software, to be come "hopefully this 
year").
Best Regards,
