HOWTO

# unarj 2.63a
# ===========
# This is a modified version of Robert Jung's unarj self-extracting archive
# found here (the 1st one was non-responsive when I wrote this):
# ftp://ftp.std.com/pub/arj/
# http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3nqpn/files/unarj265.exe
# ftp://members.aol.com/arjsoft/files/
# The latest (.exe) version is 2.65

# The ARJ Software web site is http://www.arjsoftware.com/

# Remove the old Slackware-installed unarj
rm -f /usr/bin/unarj

# Remove lines from the Slackware 'bin' package that reference files
# from the old unarj that you removed above.
