Convert ARJ to CZIP

Understanding ARJ and CZIP file formats

ARJ is a file archive format that was popular in the early 1990s. It stands for "Archived by Robert Jung," the developer of the format. ARJ files are used to compress and archive multiple files into a single file, making it easier to store and transfer data. Although not as common today, ARJ files are still used in some legacy systems.

CZIP is a compressed file format that is part of the ZIP family. It is used to compress files and folders to reduce their size for easier storage and transfer. CZIP files are similar to standard ZIP files but may include additional features such as encryption or enhanced compression algorithms.
