Well, I guess in this day and age, one person's Alpha is another person's 
retail version.
I guess Robert Jung doesn't have the marketing pressures of companies like 
IBM; I think to him ARJ and JAR are like fine wine, not to be served befor 
their time :-)
The current release of JAR appears to be very stable; hard as I try, I have 
not been able to uncover any bugs [yet ].  But it is still classified by 
the author as a beta (now: beta _3_ to be exact) and carries this disclaimer:
