1. I prefer readable names.  If you're running a binhex equivalent on a
   machine other than a Mac, then that program should put the correct
   Mac name in the MacBinary output and name the file containing that
   MacBinary as needed to conform to the requirements of that other machine.

2. I would like StuffIt to have the option to create a folder, but I would
   prefer you not to force that on me.  Sometimes I want to look at the
   documentation or README file on a program without extracting the whole
   mess.  Forcing the folder prevents me from doing that.

Since both of the above opinions are at odds with previous postings, it should
be obvious that no one form meets the needs of all recipients.
