Hello Hans,

Perhaps because dispite a load of moans about Os/2 sales/support etc,
there are STILL a LOT of folks using OS/2? So there IS a market for an
OS/2 version of Arj.
Other programmers have developed archivers for OS/2, perhaps because of
that market and the revenue fron it...
Of course one can always opt out of competition or a specific market
place.. But I would have thought that anyone who uses C or C++ would
have a definate advantage in porting to other platforms/os's..
                 Cheers,
                         Cliff Hetherington
