I did a test of the 3 major compressors and here are the results I got:


File                  |   STD    | Diamond 5.1 | Compactor 1.2
                      |  Better  |   Compact   |
--------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Word   669K |  447K    |    467K     |      458K
Systems Tools(1) 481K |  309K    |    318K     |      308K
SoundEdit File   50K  |  42K(2)  |     45K     |       44K
--------------------------------------------------------------
Total           1200K |  798K    |    830K     |      810K



(1) - The System Tools consisted of a Minimal System Software for any
      Macintosh v6.0.5

(2) - The D-Stuffed file did not use the SoundEdit Compression optimizer.
