Craig, as far as bug fixes are concerned, well, that would depend -- do you know of any bugs that need to be fixed??? I've used it a lot over the past months and have not encountered any bugs. Also, I have not heard of any JAR bugs in this echo or elsewhere, so I think it's safe to assume that JAR is pretty stable at this point. Besides, Robert Jung has a pretty good track record of being very thorough with his programs, he doesn't release them until he's run very extensive beta testing. And speaking of track record, Robert Jung has consistently improved ARJ over the years, which is a lot more than can be said about other products, such as the five year old PKZip 2.04g. I am confident Robert will bring the same commitment to his new baby, JAR. I know he's working on a self-extracting module for JAR and that's one thing I'm really looking forward to. Beyond that, what improvements would you like to see for Jar? Cheers, Hans ...
