This archive contains ARJ version 2.70 FULL RELEASE from ARJ Software,
Inc., http://www.arjsoftware.com.
ARJ is a file compression utility with more file management functions
than other popular file compression utilities. The version management
and backup support features of ARJ strongly set it apart from other
file compression utilities. ARJ is command line driven which makes it
easier to use in automated processes such as providing backup for an
accounting package.
The non-evaluation use of ARJ in a business, commercial, government or
institutional environment requires a license.

*****************************************************************
This software as originally released by ARJ Software, Inc. came
"sealed" in an ARJ self-extracting archive with an ARJ-SECURITY digital
envelope to prevent tampering. Re-archival of this software will
destroy this security feature "seal".
In addition, this release is set up to demonstrate the new execute
after extraction option. This self-extractor will execute the program
ARJTEST.EXE after a successful extraction. ARJTEST.EXE is a simple
display-a-message program. Because this self-extractor is ARJ-SECURED,
the user will not be prompted for permission to execute the ARJTEST.EXE
program.
Please note that some versions of Norton Anti-virus will report a false
alarm when scanning this archive and/or its contents.
This version of ARJ uses a new registration scheme. This obsoletes all
previous ARJ registration keys. ARJ 1.x and 2.x registered users are
eligible for a free replacement registration key. Please supply proof
of registration with a copy of your signed license document, or a copy
of your registration keys, or a printout or screen capture of your
ARJ.EXE registration display which we will use to check our records.
This release of ARJ now saves the Windows file properties of date-time
created and date-time accessed. This will cause archives to be
slightly larger in size. This feature can be disabled.
MAJOR FEATURES OF ARJ INCLUDE:
Year 2000 compliance.
Windows 95/98 long filename support in ARJ and REARJ (not Win NT). An
evaluation version of ARJ32 for Win95/98/NT (32 bit version) should
be available soon. You can find a TEST release version on our website.
The ability to repair small amounts of archive damage (headers and file
data) of an ARJ-PROTECTED archive.
The ability to process and archive up to 65,000 files at one time.
The ability to store many different backups (chapters) within a SINGLE
archive and restore any specific backup. This is a powerful file
version management feature.
ARJ provides excellent file compression in terms of resulting archive
size and speed.
ARJ has the option to create multiple volume archives with one command
making ARJ useful for making backups to multiple floppies or archiving
a very large file to several floppies without "SLICE"ing.
A myriad of commands and options to provide ummatched flexibility in
archiver usage.
