- I am very serious here. The portable decompressor is already present
- (you yourself participated in making it). The file format of ARJ
- is less complex than the one PKZIP uses. And the major nucleus of
- the compression engine can be reused. If I compare ARJ and PKZIP IMO
- Robert Jung is much more credible than PKWARE.
- Of cource it will be a lot of work I realize that. But I think
- it would serve the datacompression world very well.
