  I may be coming into this discussion late, but why hasn't anyone talked
about StuffIt Classic, which packs and unpacks StuffIt Deluxe archives and
is distributed on the same terms as StuffIt 1.5.1?

  It seems to me that when copies of StuffIt Classic are more common then
there shouldn't be a problem with StuffIt Deluxe files.
