- not be made. I much rather get reports of bugs/errors which help
- to make the program more stable, then suggestions for features
- which will make the program bigger or more unstable.

- will be glad to help you.
-
- Q. Have does WinJar work ?
- A. That's a long story. Too long. Basicly: WinJar starts jar32 and tries
- to understand the result values and/or output.
-
- Q. I use WinRAR and like the interface, can't you make WinJar look like that ?

- the program called Jarwin (search the net for it).
