- If high compression ratio is what you want i myself use LHA which produces
- LZH files. I have tried a couple of others and i tought that this has the
- best compression_ratio/melting_speed ratio!
- On the other hand many FTP:s doesn't accept uploads other than ZIP!

- The sourcecode for Lharc can be found on many FTP:s. Have a look at
- nic.funet.fi or garbo.uwasa.fi! You will eventually also find sourcecode
- for other archivers as well. They are most likely rather old!
-
- Please inform me about the sourecode you find and also if you are still
- stuck with ARJ!
