Thanks I'll fix that.

You are free to do that if you'd like and send it along.  I'll make a note of it in my TODO list in the meantime just don't know when I might get around to it.

Mystic does have interval code specifically for ZIP, RAR, and LZH/LHA which is how its able to provide the advanced type of archive functions/viewing that Mystic can do. If you find a LZH/LHA file that you cannot view feel free to e-mail it to me so I can take a look at it.

There is no enabled setup for ARJ by default in Mystic but if you want to create a view default feel free to do so and send it over, like any other archiver.

ARJ itself has barely been updated in decades, its not free, and is vastly inherior to other open/free archive alternatives.  If I am not mistaken if you download the latest version it will have a 1 minute pause (unless you pay) every time its executed which renders it pretty much useless.  You're better off not using ARJ and converting your files to something else that has better compression, secruity, and isn't bound by crippleware.

Mystic used to have internal ARJ support too when it was more viable but I removed it at some point.

.... If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
