The other day I found a 3,5" floppy in my basement. It's one of my backup floppies I used in 1995 and it has several ARJ archives on it. I still have a floppy drive and yes, it is still readable :-)

The thing is that the archives are password protected. Can anyone name a password cracker for arj archives that runs on linux?

    If you don't find one for Linux, anything that works for DOS will work with dosemu. Commented May 11, 2015 at 20:09

After 3 days of searching and finally asking here, I just came across this: http://www.password-crackers.com/en/category_100/program_16.html

It's only listed as being for Windows, but has a 32 bit ELF executable as well.

I successfully unarchived a MS-Word file from 1989-07-25, must have been Word 3 or Word 4 at that time... OMG, digital archeology!
