Simple.   ARJ is a new file compression format, therefore you can't use other 
file decompressors to handle it.

I think wuarchive.wustl.edu has it, if you don't want to try simtel20.  Its
either in a dskutl or compression subdirrectory, probably under the name of
ARJ020.ZIP or somesuch.  The file itself is usually in a different file format;
from which I deduct that ARJ currently cannot create its own self-extracting
files.
