subject: Why Arj?

Hi,
 RB> much.. it's a very big EXE file, the options can be found in most
       The EXE contains the COMPRESSOR, the DECOMPRESSOR and the EXE to
create 2 different EXE type archives, NOT like Pkzip which has 156,000
different programs to do what ARJ does with ONE program. Arj is 115k
compressed with Pklite.
       PKZIP and PKUNZIP come up to about 71k, not including the EXE creator
or the comment generator. ARJ is not really bigger.
 RB> about it is the multiple volumes... but even at that, RAR is more
       RAR doesn't have the technical advancement that ARJ does as far as
options. Aparently RAR may not work with some remote terminals because of
it's extended ASCII display.
       ARJ is easier to use than Pkzip and RAR is only an ARJ rip-off
wannabe.
