  It's just idle speculation on my part, but I wonder _why_ after all this
  time, PKWare are starting to act interested in OS/2 again.  One wouldn't
  have thought that given the prevalence of Info-ZIP's `zip' and `unzip'
  it would be a very profitable avenue for PKWare to pursue, especially
  given the obvious (and predictable) attitude of many people (such as
  yourself) who are perfectly content with the Info-ZIP utilities.
  Whatever the reason, this is a development that should be encouraged.
  Maybe we should contact Robert K Jung, tell him what his competitors are
  doing, and try to get that version of ARJ for OS/2 finished that he was
  talking about some years back ...
