- This archive contains ARJ32 version 3.03 FULL RELEASE from ARJ
- Software, Inc., http://www.arjsoftware.com.
-
- ARJ32 is a file compression utility with more file management functions
- than other popular file compression utilities. The version management
- and backup support features of ARJ32 strongly set it apart from other
- file compression utilities. ARJ32 is command line driven which makes it
- easier to use in automated processes such as providing backup for an
- accounting package.
-
- ARJ32 is not just another archiving program. The flexibility of ARJ32
- lets users manipulate and manage files in ways that no other archiver
- or file manager does. In addition, ARJ32 provides ARJ-PROTECT which is
- a data error correction facility that allows for the repair of many
- damaged (ARJ-PROTECTED) archives.
-
- The non-evaluation use of ARJ32 in a business, commercial, government
- or institutional environment requires a license.
