    How old? We were talking about porting ARJ to OS/2. Since OS/2 machines 
are supposed to be reasonably fast, JAR should do, whatever its requirements.
    I think ARJ should not delay new proyects, but it is your decision :-)
    Anyway I have been using ARJ for years and it will always be a 
recommended download on my BBS. Not too much to pay ARJ's services to me 
but...

    Just curious, can I ask the average compression rations of JAR vs ARJ?
Saludos.
