LINDHOLM (Read 1 times) Subj: ARJ for OS/2 Hi, Could we please stop all this discussion about ARJ for OS/2. It's obvious that Robert doesn't want to do it and the thread is taking up space which could be used for other subjects. Apart from that not having an OS/2 version of JAR around keeps me too busy to read this conference as my time is taken up sending out site license for RAR/2.

So _perhaps_ a version of Win32s that is capable of handling Win95 not just win 3.11 or WfWg 3.11 would enable the use of JAR32 under OS/2.. AvdW> better than the build in compression in the tape backup program. Yeah but I find my backup program tries [like mnp5] to compress whats already smaller than it can make and just wastes _time_ which for me is more important than the space:-) Cheers, Cliff Written offline at 06:48 Hrs --- Terminate 4.10b14/Pro*at _Tester_ _UK_ * Origin: Cliff's pointing at you from Crystal Tower,London.

Try this: Make 10 .bmp files Use PKZIP at normal compression, and then use JAR at maximum compression. PKZIP compresses .bmp files BETTER than JAR32!
