Hi there,

I haven't really tested and compared the 2 programs myself, but the .doc file
for ARJ 1.10 claims that it compresses as well as LHA 2.10... Actually,
I wasn't aware that LHA 2.11 had been released already, but based on the 
differences described in the LHA 2.11 doc file, there is no major difference
between 2.10 and 2.11. 2.11 only corrects a few bugs; there is no difference 
in compression.

I just meant to let the guys on the net know about the possibility of having
a new archiver by the end of this year...


Yours truly,
Kev
