StuffIt Classic doesn't install anything in your system FILE. It does however, place some folders in your system FOLDER. This is done so that Classic, Deluxe, Shortcut and Magic Menu can share the help files, the optimizer modules and the like. If for some reason you decide to remove Classic, all that is required is that you throw the application and some folders in the trash. No resources are within your system file. > StuffIt Classic is way too large. StuffIt 1.5.1 suited me fine. I can't > say I see any -major- improvements in Classic. Bigger isn't necessarily > better. I too like Compactor's compact size. That suits me. Enjoy! John
