This archive contains ARJ version 2.00. This is a full featured
production release. ARJ is free for non-commercial personal use.
Major features of ARJ include:
ARJ 2.00 now ranks as the best in overall compression in terms of
resulting archive size and as one of the best in terms of compression
speed. This includes PKZIP 1.10, PAK 2.51, HYPER 2.5, LHARC 1.13,
and LHA 2.11.
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 separate conversion utility called REARJ to facilitate wholesale
conversion of archives to the ARJ format.
Option to test newly created archive before overwriting original
archive or deleting input files for a move command.
Option to store empty directories.
Selectable compression options.
Command to merge multiple archives. No extracting/recompressing.
Command to change the filenames of files stored in archives.
Command to re-order the files within the archive in any user
specified order.
Multiple string searching within archives.
Text mode compression to enable cross-platform extraction of files.
Filename specification via list files option.
Filename/wildname exclusion option.
Built-in facility to recover files from broken archives.
Setting of comments for archive and files with a file input option.
ARJ internal CRC checks to resist hacking a la "ICE".
Archive security envelope to resist tampering. ARJ-SECURITY
disallows archive update of any kind including commenting.
Self-extraction option built into ARJ.EXE. Self-extractor has
security envelope checking feature.

This will extract only the embedded ARJ200.EXE in the ZIP file.
