    To repeat:

    Where did you get the "z" command, and what were you trying to do with
it?  It's not listed in the ARJ Help screens.  Or were you just trying
unlisted commands, looking for undocumented ones?  Since it seems to be
looking for a SECURITY key, I would guess that it might be the command
used with a REGISTERED copy of ARJ to add security to an ARJive, but
that's strictly a guess.
