(sometimes)

I just saw it at MacWorld today and it looks really great! It can 
compress/decompress docs on the fly when you open/close them! In addition, 
you can make archive files. You can also double-click on a DD compressed 
file and have it open DD and uncompress!

It looks really good and it is selling at their both for a mere 50 bucks.
