Due to the size of JAR and the machine requirements (very slow on older 
machines) as well as the difficulty of supporting various ARJ features, ARJ 
will still be supported.  JAR is a real resource hog.  It will use from 1/2 
MB to 8MB or more of RAM for compression.  The more the merrier.  The JAR 
archive format is very complex.
