<Main 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"

  ARJ32 uses OEM codepage by default.  The "-hy" option sets ARJ32 to use
  the ANSI codepage which is the Windows graphical environment default.  ARJ32
  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.

  The batch statement IF ERRORLEVEL 0 ...          means
  if the errorlevel is EQUAL TO or GREATER THAN 0.
