     Under  Win32,  arj uses OEM codepage by default.  The "-hy" option sets arj
     to use the ANSI codepage which is the  Windows  graphical	environment  de-
     fault.   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.
