Unbeknowst to many out there, ARJ sales are still growing especially in 
Europe and Asia.  It shows no sign of dying despite the "death of DOS".  From 
a business point of view, I get more requests for a UNIX version of ARJ than 
for an OS/2 version of ARJ.  However, I am working on an OS/2 version and not 
on a UNIX version currently.
In any case, I am considering the future with my new project, JAR, which 
offers multi-platform support and significantly better compression than ARJ.
Regards,
Robert
