Quoting: Robert Jung about ARJ/2 to Nicky Morrow.

But are there any plans at all to consider an os/2 version? I love Arj,
simply due to its vast capabilities via commandline parameters... but I am
increasingly doing more and more things in os/2 native instead of in dos..
which is making it more and more of a nuisance to have to spawn a dos
session for handling of archives... I would like to check out Jar and see
what it has to offer, but see no point in it if it doesn't support the
platform that I need it for...
