subject: New Features for ARJ

Hola, Robert.
23 May 96, Robert Jung escribe a Carlos Fernandez Sanz:
 RJ>> Comments and suggestions concerning these features is welcomed

    That's not the point. It is true that TODAY a DOS program sells as well 
as a 32-bit version. The point is what will happen when DOS dissapears, which 
sooner or later will happen. The competition, mainly RAR which is available 
for many platforms (and performs a lot better than ARJ) will have an 
advantage.

    Can I ask why are you still working on ARJ?
Saludos.
