	Stuffit Classic currently has the feature to create Self-extracting
	archives that Deluxe does not have. This is coming in a 1.1 update
	to Deluxe. Classic cannot copy files from archive to archive since
	it can only open one file at at time, unlike Deluxe which can open
	up to 8 archives at a time. Deluxe sometimes in the 1.01 release
	will damage an archive if you "move" files in the hierarchy of
	the archive (folder to folder, Folder to Root etc) but it is
	rare, reportedly whatever caused that is fixed. Deluxe has
	other features which make it quite nice...worth it to me anyway
	if you registered 1.51, you should be able to get it for $40.
