- Because .ARJ is not a widely-known archive format (even though I use it
- myself for all of my archives), I think it is acceptable to use it.
-
- Another thing you could do is to make it an auto-extracting archive. I
- believe this adds only about 10k or so to the size of the archive and then
- persons wouldn't have to go hunting all over for the decompressor.
-
- Another thing is . . . . and I know you hate to hear this . . . make it
- into two files, neither exceeding 1.2 meg. This would then take 2 disks
- to physically transport, but I really don't think that is a big deal (face
- it, 2 disks aren't much bigger than one).
-
- As always, please keep up the great work.
