  My computer environment is 486DX2-66 with 16MB RAM
  operating system is MS-DOS 6.20 and 4DOS 5.52A
  The compress tools are
    JAR 1.01
    ARJ 2.50a
    RAR 2.00
    PKZIP 2.04g
    LHA 2.55b
  Testing files are 3 EXE files from the JAR101BX.EXE (JAR.EXE
  JAR32.EXE and REARJ.EXE). My commands are
  (timer are the internal command of 4DOS, read the 4DOS manual for
   more detail)
  timer ^ jar a jar *.exe ^ timer
  timer ^ rar a jar *.exe ^ timer
  timer ^ pkzip jar *.exe ^ timer
  timer ^ arj a jar *.exe ^ timer
  timer ^ lha a jar *.exe ^ timer
  Results are
