People should not be getting too excited about ARJ 2.00 or any other...

90% of the code used in ARJ is "stolen" directly from LHA.  I do not think it
at all appropriate for Jung to be putting a copyright and "all rights 
reserved" on code that wasnt' written by him.  The code is the SAME in
most parts of the code down to formatting and a few comments.

If you will go back to ARJ version .20 the results from it will be BYTE for
BYTE the same as that from AR2!

The only advancement that he has made is increasing the dictionary size to
22k!  This guy deserves no recognition.
