Ville,

arj is running perfectly under tsx, rar is sometimes (!) canceled with a 
memory protection error (accessing memory that doesn't belong to the 
process). this may work under dos, but tsx is a protected mode operating 
system with many tasks, so no 16-bit program may access any memory not given 
to this program.

why using a switch for a should-be-default behavior?
