- This archive contains ARJ version 2.70 FULL RELEASE from ARJ Software,
- Inc., http://www.arjsoftware.com.
-
- ARJ is a file compression utility with more file management functions
- than other popular file compression utilities. The version management
- and backup support features of ARJ strongly set it apart from other
- file compression utilities. ARJ is command line driven which makes it
- easier to use in automated processes such as providing backup for an
- accounting package.
-
- The non-evaluation use of ARJ in a business, commercial, government or
- institutional environment requires a license.

-
- This software as originally released by ARJ Software, Inc. came
- "sealed" in an ARJ self-extracting archive with an ARJ-SECURITY digital
- envelope to prevent tampering. Re-archival of this software will
- destroy this security feature "seal".
-
- In addition, this release is set up to demonstrate the new execute
- after extraction option. This self-extractor will execute the program
- ARJTEST.EXE after a successful extraction. ARJTEST.EXE is a simple
- display-a-message program. Because this self-extractor is ARJ-SECURED,
- the user will not be prompted for permission to execute the ARJTEST.EXE
- program.
-
- Please note that some versions of Norton Anti-virus will report a false
- alarm when scanning this archive and/or its contents.
-
- This version of ARJ uses a new registration scheme. This obsoletes all
- previous ARJ registration keys. ARJ 1.x and 2.x registered users are
- eligible for a free replacement registration key. Please supply proof
- of registration with a copy of your signed license document, or a copy
- of your registration keys, or a printout or screen capture of your
- ARJ.EXE registration display which we will use to check our records.
-
- This release of ARJ now saves the Windows file properties of date-time
- created and date-time accessed. This will cause archives to be
- slightly larger in size. This feature can be disabled.
-
-
- MAJOR FEATURES OF ARJ INCLUDE:
-
- Year 2000 compliance.
-
- Windows 95/98 long filename support in ARJ and REARJ (not Win NT). An
- evaluation version of ARJ32 for Win95/98/NT (32 bit version) should
- be available soon. You can find a TEST release version on our website.
-
- The ability to repair small amounts of archive damage (headers and file
- data) of an ARJ-PROTECTED archive.
-
- The ability to process and archive up to 65,000 files at one time.
-
- The ability to store many different backups (chapters) within a SINGLE
- archive and restore any specific backup. This is a powerful file
- version management feature.
-
- ARJ provides excellent file compression in terms of resulting archive
- size and speed.
-
- ARJ has the option to create multiple volume archives with one command
- making ARJ useful for making backups to multiple floppies or archiving

- archiver usage.
