Hi,

The patch information went out to registered users first.

Here is a copy of a batch file to do the same:

echo off
echo FIX_241.BAT - batch file to patch version 2.41 of ARJ software
echo -
rem This batch file fixes two problems with the critical error handler.
rem (1) The "OK to retry (y/n)?" message does not accept "y" and "n"
correctly.
rem (2) Pressing CTL BREAK at "OK to retry (y/n)?" may disable ARJ.
rem This patching procedure is self-verifying by using the integrity checking
rem feature of ARJ.  Running FIX_241.BAT twice on the same ARJ.EXE causes
rem no problems.  It must be run on the UN-registered version of ARJ.EXE.

if not exist ARJ.EXE goto notfound

echo e0d37 fe b1 f1 12> arj.$$$
echo e0c63 00>> arj.$$$
echo eb387 e0>> arj.$$$
echo eb397 e0>> arj.$$$
echo w>>        arj.$$$
echo q>>        arj.$$$

echo Patching ARJ.EXE
echo -

copy arj.exe arj.xxx > NUL
debug arj.xxx < arj.$$$
arj -+ i arj.xxx > NUL
if errorlevel 1 goto error
copy arj.xxx arj.exe > NUL
echo The program ARJ.EXE has been patched and verified.
goto end

:usage
echo Usage: FIX_241
echo This program presumes that DEBUG and ARJ are available on your system
and
echo that ARJ.EXE is in the current directory.
goto end

:notfound
echo Error: ARJ.EXE does not exist in the current directory.
goto end

:error
echo Error: Patch failed. Check that ARJ.EXE is uncorrupted and is the
original
echo *** UN-REGISTERED *** version 2.41.
goto end

:end
if exist ARJ.$$$ del ARJ.$$$
if exist ARJ.XXX del ARJ.XXX
echo -
