There is only one reason, but this one is crucial: ARJ has 
by far the better compression algorithm. Only RAR beats it 
in several situations. ZIP is usually not worth mentioning. 
I must admit, though, that I have never used lh/2 and thus
cannot say anything about it.

Disk space is an important resource, and besides: Files
sent over the modem cost less if they are smaller. So from
my point of view there really _is_ a need for ARJ/2.

Tschuess,
