making it universal is actually hard as the creator of the program but as a user of the program it is very easy and the users make things seem to be very difficult wereas they are not, for instance: they don't take easy steps of fixing the problems themselves because mostly what causes freearc errors is the incompatibility of arc.exe and unarc.dll, they must both come from the same version or build of freearc so as a user, just download the latest freearc, use the arc.exe from it for compression and use the unarc.dll from it for decompression, they must always come from the same package. you can even see, in quick packer, there is the isdpne support folder, those files aren't there for decorations, those files are the ones that are compatible with the compressor itself but still a user never reads instructions and take the files for granted.

Exactly, but since novice users take for granted that any program or software, functions in a simple and safe, we must try to make our software more universal as possible, for the different needs of each user.

Nobody has ever read the manual instructions, but unfortunately this is a mistake that exists in human nature.
