AHaving tested ARJ against LHA 2.11 I do not find anything amazing about
ARJ being better than LHA 2.11. Of all the public domain programs that
I converted from ZIP to LZH and ARJ, LZH was better in some cases and ARJ
was better in other, so I wouldn't call one better than the other.

This is just my opinion, from my personal expirience....

I do however think that this man has made a remarkable program, which I
will continue to test (and eventually register when I find it suits my needs).
