As an example of the compression capabilities of StuffIt 1.10 as we
try to reduce net bandwidth, I did a little experiment.  I downloaded
the Teltnuag game from the net over the last couple of days after
appending the pieces together.  A binhex file of approx. 205K was the
result.  After unBinhexing the file a PackIt file of about 175K 
resulted.  Unpacking yielded nearly 175K of files, some application
and some text based documents.  I then created a StuffIt archive from
the same files.  The StuffIt archive came to 87K.  Very Impressive
if you ask me!  As an aside, I found the package very convenient to
use.  This is one piece of shareware I will be glad to pay for.
