Yes, as a matter of fact I think we originated the idea. AutoUnstuffit
Shell came packed with one of the early versions of Stuffit. The first time
I saw it was in 1988, I believe. It is a Stuffit archive that has a small
application in the recourse fork (the stuffed files are in the data fork)
which, when double clicked, unstuffs all the files. Many software
distributors use it to compress files onto fewer distribution disks. Steve
Jasik, author of "The Debugger" uses another auto decopressor to ship his
stuff too. I forget the name of that one, but I think it works with
compactor files.
