Mr. Goodman has created a most wonderful compression scheme/algorithm
that's nearly amazing.

My only beef with Compact Pro (the name's not that good) is
that the interface is terrible.  Take some clues from Aladdin Systems'
"StuffIt Deluxe," and while you're at it, Mr. Goodman, please
create an "Engine" extension when you have a future release!!!  This
is really cool -- look at White Knight 11.10, which lets you use
the "StuffIt Engine" from the app itself...

Dearly reminiscent of the IAC (InterApplicationCommunication) that
is coming soon with 7.0! :)
