	Are we refering to one of the two beta releases of Stuffit 1.6.
	Some of the initial beta's did have some problems which have
	been corrected in the latest and final release of Stuffit Classic
	1.6. I have not had any problems with Classic in the new times I
	used it to check it out. I use deluxe regularly without to many
	problems, though there are a couple things that will be fixed in
	the soon to be released 1.1 version of Deluxe..
