   This archive contains ARJ32 version 3.10a OFFICIAL FULL RELEASE from ARJ
   Software, Inc., http://www.arjsoftware.com.  This is a major
   enhancement and bug fix release.


   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.

   The use of ARJ32 in a business, commercial, government or institutional
   environment EXCEPT for a 30 day evalution period requires a license.
   This version will expire slowly after a year or so.  Registration
   avoids expiration.

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

   In addition, this release is set up to demonstrate the new execute
   after extraction option.  This self-extractor will execute the program
   ARJTEST.EXE after a successful extraction.  ARJTEST.EXE is a simple
   display-a-message program.  Because this self-extractor is ARJ-SECURED,
   the user will not be prompted for permission to execute the ARJTEST.EXE
   program.

   Please note that some versions of Norton Anti-virus will report a false
   alarm when scanning this archive and/or its contents.  This
   self-extracting archive will test itself during extraction and report
   any corruption or infection.

   This version of ARJ uses a new registration scheme.  This obsoletes all
   ARJ registration keys prior to 2.7x.  ARJ 1.x and 2.x registered users
   are eligible for a free replacement registration key.  Please supply
   proof of registration with a copy of your signed license document, or a
   copy of your registration keys, or a printout or screen capture of your
   ARJ.EXE registration display which we will use to check our records.

   This release of ARJ now saves the Windows file properties of date-time
   created and date-time accessed.  This will cause archives to be
   slightly larger in size.  This feature can be disabled.

   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.

   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.


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

   Year 2000 compliance.

   Compatibility with ARJ for DOS (2.6x and 2.7x).

   Full long filename support in Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows
   95/98/ME (and the upcoming Windows XP).

   The ability to repair small amounts of archive damage (headers and file
   data) for an ARJ-PROTECTED archive.

   The ability to process and archive up to 100,000 files at one time. The
   registered version can handle over 2,000,000 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/2K/95/98/ME file date-time
   accessed and created properties.  The ability to restore directory
   date-time stamps in Windows 2000 and Windows NT.

   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.

   ARJ32 has the ability to generate multiple volume archives with all
   volumes with an EXE file extension to simplify Internet browser
   downloading of such archives.

   A myriad of commands and options to provide ummatched flexibility in
   archiver usage and file management.
