DEFAULTS
Save path information in archive Save long filenames Save/restore extended attributes Save/restore file date-time created and accessed in Win95 and OS/2 Save timestamps in the UNIX format under UNIX-like operating systems Don't save drive and root in path information Display comment ANSI sequences with built-in display handler Prompt before overwriting output files Use method 1 compression Use binary mode Use ! as list file symbol The "ac" command is an abbreviation for "u -u2 -jb" The "cc" command is an abbreviation for "y -jb" The "dc" command is an abbreviation for "d -jb" Under Win32, arj uses OEM codepage by default. The "-hy" option sets arj to use the ANSI codepage which is the Windows graphical environment default. arj/Win32 self-extracting archives should be built using the "-hy" option. To ensure compatibility with previous versions of arj, the "-2d" parameter has to be specified when archiving under UNIX.

SELF-EXTRACTOR ARCHIVES
If the first two characters of an arj comment are "))" in a self-extractor, then the self- extractor will accept the appended line as its command line. ")) -o" will force the self-extractor to overwrite existing files.
