Whatever the hell happened to ARJ over the years, by the way? Why did it disappear? It was so much better than ZIP.

ARJ is still out there, just nobody uses it. I think it lost the battle on compression rate and features to RAR/7Z, and lost the battle on simplicity and ubiquitousness to ZIP.

ARJ saw no real improvement for decades now, its creator at some point wanted to replace it with a new program - JAR (not to be confused with Java ARchiver), but it failed to get traction.
In 2003, I voted in favour of joining the European Union. However, due to recent developments - especially the restrictions on cash usage - I'm hereby withdrawing my support. DOWN WITH THE EU!
