Hi,
VH> What kind of functionality do you actually miss on RAR that ARJ has?
Type RAR /? and ARJ /?.... you should see a big difference.
VH> Well, the fact that it resembles ARJ (and LHArc) won't make it any
VH> worse archiver. It's easy to adapt into RAR if you're familiar with ARJ
VH> or LHA. At least it was for me.
RAR basically has the same command syntax as ARJ, however it's not as
flexible on the command line with options and syntax.
VH> Why I prefer RAR over ARJ is the fact, that RAR compresses a lot
VH> better, and it has native versions for OS/2 and Windows.
My ARJ works great in a DOS Box. Don't see why I would need a windows
version.
VH> Before I found RAR, I too used ARJ for personal archiving for the fact
VH> that it had (and still has) a very fine multi-volume handling system.
I have a BBS and I use ARJ for easy multiple volumes along with it's
functionality I can use to perform certain duties which I can't with PkZip.
