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

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