I called Alladin earlier and version 3.0 is in the works and will be out
in a couple of months.  The actual application of Stuffit Deluxe seems to
work fine under System 7.0, but the Magic Menu doesn't, which I already
really miss.  They're still undecided if they are going to release a patch
for Magic Menu for System 7.0, or stick it out until version 3.0 comes.

Oh, and StuffIt does do BinHex and PackIt, also Zip and Arc PC formats.
If it only understood Compactor format, we'd have everything in one package.
