Recently a question was asked about the new features of Stuffit Deluxe 2.0
- well from the 'Stuffit Deluxe 2.0 Addendum', I quote:

New Features in 2.0
-------------------
Version 2.0 furthers the many feaures with Stuffit Deluxe.  Most notable
of our additions are tremendous speed boosts, intelligent compression through
"Best Guess, the ability for creation of Self-UnStuffing archives, a 
collection of Stuffit Tools, new Optimizers and a new Encryptor.

A sampling of the many new features in the 2.0 package include:
* An intelligent compression option, Best Guess
* A new compression method, Optimal
* The ability to create Self-UnStuffing archives
* A Save As... command
* Automatic Launching of an application and a compressed document
* An Optimizer that helps archiving of text files
* A MacPaint Optimizer that reduces the size of MacPaint files
* PassLock, a password scheme for keeping sensitive files from prying eyes
* Desk Accessories for Stuffing and Unstuffing
* SIT Converter, an application for converting archives into a smaller form
* Hypercard XCMDs for Stuffing & UnStuffing (usable in HC, SC, Plus, etc.)
* MicroPhone II scripts for Stuffing & UnStuffing
* QuicKeys2 extensions for Stuffing & UnStuffing
* MPW Tools for Stuffing & UnStuffing
* A Stuffit XTND for reading archive contents in XTND compatible apps (like
MacWrite II and On Location)
* Additions to the Scripting Language
* And More!

If anyone has any questions about the above, or Stuffit Deluxe in general,
feel free to post or EMail me...

Disclaimer: I have no fiscal interest in Aladdin Systems, though I am involved
personally with the company, and am the author of the Hypercard and MicroPhone
II 'tools' mentioned above.
