At last someone who shares my view of stuffit!

I use two machines.  A IIci and an plus, stuffit works ok on the ci 
but still isn't too multifinbder friendly, but on the plus nothing can 
run in the background.  Whereas compactor runs beautifully on both, 
when it is pushed to the background, it does just that sits unobtrusively 
in the background.  And even in the background it is faster than stuffit. 
 I have never used stuffit deluxe, but some of the features sound like 
they could make it worth while, but till then I'm backing the shareware 
product and hoping others will support this worthwhile software prosuct.

(Now all we need is a direct port of PKZIP :-))
