AIN 2.2 Copyright (c) 1993 TRANSAS MARINE Ltd.
A new archiver. In some cases it compresses twice better than the well-
known ARJ 2.30, which it is similar to by the features it provides. It is
also faster than any other archiver.

Archiver's options constantly used are recommended to be stored into the
AIN_SW enviroment variable. For example, you may want to place the command:
SET AIN_SW=/WC:
into autoexec.bat in order to avoid "Disk full" message when updating an
archive on a floppy disk.
