   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.

   It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you run the TESTARJ3.BAT batch file to
   verify that this version of ARJ32.EXE is working correctly.

   Even though ARJ and ARJ32 are very compatible, they are considered 
   SEPARATE AND DISTINCT products from ARJ Software, Inc. for licensing
   purposes.

   This software as originally released by ARJ Software, Inc. came
   "sealed" in an ARJ32 self-extracting archive with an ARJ-SECURITY
   envelope to prevent tampering.  Re-archival of this software will
   destroy this digital signature security feature "seal".


   MAJOR FEATURES OF ARJ32 INCLUDE:
   -------------------------------

   Year 2000 compliance.

   Compatibility with ARJ for DOS (2.6x).
   
   Full long filename support in Windows NT and Windows 95/98.

   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.

   The ability to save and restore Windows NT/95/98 file date-time
   accessed and created properties.

   The ability to restore just the file attributes and/or file dates.

   ARJ32 provides excellent file compression in terms of resulting archive
   size and speed.

   ARJ32 has the option to create multiple volume archives with one
   command making ARJ32 useful for making backups to multiple floppies or
   archiving a very large file to several floppies without "SLICE"ing.

   archiver usage and file management.
