ARJ is a new file compression program with compression and speed as
good as or better than PKZIP.  It also has features missing from PKZIP,
such as archiving files larger than one floppy, which is very useful
in backing up a hard drive. It has started to gain popularity on BBSs
because it does a very good job of tightly archiving files.  Watch out
PKZIP, there's a new kid on the block!

Major features include;

~ Ranks with the best in compression in terms of size reduction.
Particularly effective with database files, graphics files, and large
documents

~ Archive and individual file comments with option of inputting comments
from a file

~ 32-bit CRC file integrity check

~ DOS volume label support

~ Empty directory support

~ Option to test new archive before overwriting the original archive

~ Archive multiple volumes with one ARJ command.  Backup a full hard
disk drive to multiple floppies

~ File re-ordering facility.  Sort by file size, file extension, CRC
value, date-time modified, filename, pathname, compression ratio, file
attribute and more

~ String search with context display within archive files

~ Recover files from broken archives

~ Self-extraction feature internal to the ARJ runfile.  The SFX module
is full-featured with a built-in help screen

~ Internal string data integrity check in ARJ to resist hacking a la
LHARC to ICE

~ Archive security envelope feature to resist tampering with secured
archives.  This feature disallows ANY changes to a secured archive

~ Password option to encrypt archived files

~ File extraction to screen in a paged mode to permit browsing

~ Specification of the files to be added to an archive via one or more
list files

~ Specify files to exclude from processing

~ Sub-directory recursion during compression and extraction
