DropStuff with Expander Enhancer 4.0 Released

Now Faster and Includes More Support for Expanding Compressed Files

Watsonville, CA (May 7, 1996) - Aladdin Systems, Inc. announces a new
update to the popular shareware "DropStuff with Expander Enhancer." It
offers Macintosh users the ability to create StuffIt archives by dragging
and dropping files and/or folders onto DropStuff. DropStuff with Expander
Enhancer allows users of Aladdin's StuffIt Expander to expand virtually
every compression format found on the Internet or online that were created
on the Macintosh, Unix Systems, and IBM-PCs and compatibles. These formats
include StuffIt (.sit), Compact Pro (.cpt), AppleLink (.pkg), ZIP (.zip),
QWK (.qwk), ARC (.arc), gzip (.gz), Unix Compress (.Z), TAR (.tar), UUcode
(.uu), BinHex (.hqx), MacBinary (.bin) and StuffIt SpaceSaver files.
Expander Enhancer also enables StuffIt Expander to join files that were
segmented with another StuffIt product, such as StuffIt Deluxe.

The System 7-only DropStuff utility will compress any file or folder into
an archive by a factor of as much as 98% (average 40%-60%) of its original
size, compression varies depending on the file-type. These archives assist
in saving disk space, speeding up modem or network file transfers, and
making backups easier. StuffIt is the worldwide standard for Macintosh
file compression and archiving.

New DropStuff with Expander Enhancer Features

o   StuffIt archive compression and expansion is accelerated on a Power
Macintosh for most formats.

o   Now supports expansion of TapeARchive (.tar) files.

o   New Support for expansion of files created by StuffIt SpaceSaver; ZIP
self-extracting archives; QWK files; gzip, and joining StuffIt segmented
files.

o   Improved System 6 compatibility with the StuffIt Engine.

o   Expander Enhancer now offers multi-file and segmented file support for
BinHex and UUCode. This enables the Expander to handle multiple documents
that may be contained in a single encoded file, or to join a single
document that spans several encoded files.
