StuffIt Deluxe has a scripting feature that lets the user create
anything from simple "batch" unbinhex and unstuff routines to 
fairly elaborate scripts for backup.  Scripts can be created with
a "Record Script..." option (similar to the "Write for me" procedure
command in White Knight).  The resulting procedure files can be 
tweaked with a text editor, and executed by double-clicking on 
the Procedure file icon.

It would be nice if the archive/dearchive part of the operation 
was as fast as Compact Pro or DiskDoubler, but it is indeed a
"set it up & leave" operation.  On balance, I find that the scripts 
save more time than is wasted by StuffIt's slowness.
