Lines: 22 I just installed UnStuffIt-Deluxe with no problems (except that I had already deleted all the SITD files I had, because I believed UnStuffIt when it said they were corrupt). But what I'd like to know is -- and I apologise if this has long ago been thrashed out -- what is the advantage of UnStuffIt-Deluxe? Does it compress much more? Is it much faster? The HyperCard-like documentation/help is really beautiful, though it seems a bit like using a moon rocket to get next door, to me. After all, the program is only meant to decompress files, isn't it? There can't be that many ways of doing that. How much is StuffIt-Deluxe, by the way? I don't think the documentation mentioned anything as crude as money ... -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: tim@maths.tcd.ie
