Sorry I missed your message earlier.  The answer to your question is "yes and 
no".  Personally, I would not want to have -r or -d in my env. var.; I also 
don't recommend the combination of -m1 with -jm.  Perhaps -jm1 is a better 
compromise for the latter?
For what it's worth, I point ARJ_SW to my ARJ.CFG file.  Here are the 
contents:
=== Begin arj.cfg ===
a -a -s -jm1 -js -jt2 -jyryv -wC:\Temp
d -jt -s -jyryv -wC:\Temp
e -a -jr -jyryv -wC:\Temp
f -a -e -s -jm1 -js -jt -jyryv -wC:\Temp
l -jp -jyryv
m -a -s -jm1 -js -jt1 -jyryv -wC:\Temp
t -i -jp
u -a -e -s -jm1 -js -jt -jyryv -wC:\Temp
v -jp
y -s -jt -wC:\Temp
x -a -jr -jt -wC:\Temp
=== End arj.cfg ===
Of course, this is just my idea; your preferences might well differ based on 
your needs. :-)
BTW, for those who prefer a GUI, WinZip set to use ARJ as default, in 
combination with a customized ARJ.CFG as above, will do a great job, 
especially when spanning multiple disks.
Cheers, Hans

Same results here when trying this one on for size. What is it you're
trying to do with this command line?  The "z" parameter, according to
the help screen, is usually preceded with a hyphen, making it "-z" on
the backside of anything you'd be using it for. In most instances, you'd
be using something that might look more like this:
 
  arj c -s1 [filename] -z[filename.ext]
 
This command line tells ARJ to add a comment to the file named as
[filename], using the [filename.ext] named adjacent to the "-z"
parameter. By the way, the "-s1" parameter tells ARJ to maintain the
original timestamp on the archive, not update that information based on
the date/time you added the comment file, if that's what you're doing.
