489 Under Win32, arj uses OEM codepage by default. The "-hy" option sets
491 arj to use the ANSI codepage which is the Windows graphical environment
492 default. arj/Win32 self-extracting archives should be built using the
493 "-hy" option.
494 To ensure compatibility with previous versions of arj, the "-2d" param‐
496 eter has to be specified when archiving under UNIX.
