THE RIGHT STUFFIT

The number one file compression utility, StuffIt, is getting an upgrade and
moving out of the shareware arena and into the commercial market. The
shareware version of StuffIt will still be availiable on bulletin boards and
electronic services, but the commercial version will have more power and will
be easier to use. Among the new features for StuffIt Deluxe will be DES file
encryption, virus detection, and improved compression for sound and graphics
files.

Aladdin Systems, the new publisher, is working with Ray Lau to take what has
become the standard for telecommunications and make it into an archiving and
backup program. Also new from Aladdin will be ShortCut, a set of file
management utilities that will let you unstuff StuffIt files through any open
dialog box. Teamed, the two products will allow users to virtually double
their hard disk space.

StuffIt Deluxe is slated for a September release and will cost under $100 (or
a $25 fee for registered StuffIt owners). ShortCut should be availiable this
summer for under $60
