In a similar fashion than other people here, my first contact with ARJ was via a copy of Doom compressed and split into several floppies.

Some years ago I remembered out of the blue ARJ and checked their site (the one this submission is about). It was nice to see they were still around. I am the kind of person that love the "About" sections and I could not resist to check their "Our Philosophy" one: http://www.arjsoftware.com/phil.htm:

From the beginning, our family decided that God would be the senior partner in our company and that our business practices would strive to reflect the principles that He has so graciously provided to the world in His Word.

I am not used to people bringing religion into IT related stuff, I was kind of surprised surprised, in a honestly curious way.

The once ubiquitous UltraEdit text editor for Windows used to have a similar message on its website and still does to this day. I remember it being a little odd back in 1997 or so when I first started using it, especially living in relatively secular Australia.

On the same vein, Zynaddsubfx used to have that on its website: "Please don't use this program to make music that is against God and Jesus Christ. Realize that the only way to the Salvation is Jesus Christ. Please don't lose this chance and don't make others to lose it!"

I did not know the tool (nor the request). Interesting!

Thanks

Here[1] is another interesting work on the same theme by a man who knows a thing or two about computing. It may help sate your curiosity.
