“The Macintosh Archive Utility” for the Apple Macintosh Winner of the 1993 & 1994 Macworld World Class Awards Aladdin Systems, Inc. 165 Westridge Drive Watsonville, California 95076 United States of America (408) 761-6200 StuffIt Lite User’s Guide Title Page Page 1 Introduction StuffIt has been the industry standard for compression and archiving since its introduction in 1987. Early in 1990, Aladdin Systems launched StuffIt Deluxe™, which introduced many new features into the original StuffIt. A few of these features have found their way into StuffIt Lite; longtime users of StuffIt may see some new, welcome additions. These additions led people, like yourself, to award the entire StuffIt family the 1993 and 1994 Macworld World Class Awards. Thank you for supporting StuffIt all these years. StuffIt Lite works with System 6.0.4 or later and all versions of System 7, is 32-bit clean, and compatible with virtual memory and ’040 caching. StuffIt Lite can be controlled with scripting systems such as AppleScript™ and UserLand Frontier™ software. Throughout this User’s Guide you will see the words StuffIt and StuffIt Lite used interchangeably. Why use StuffIt Lite? Gathering many files into an archive allows you to transmit many files as one file over a modem or network. Compression of the files saves disk space and on-line time when transmitting or receiving files by modem or through a network. Compression of rarely used files also allows you to better utilize available disk space. StuffIt Lite is a shareware product. Shareware means that you can give it away to your friends as long as you don’t charge for it. (Please make sure you give away the StuffIt Lite installer, not the individual parts of the product.) It also means that, if you use it, you are expected to pay a registration fee of $30. Raymond Lau and Aladdin Systems expect that as a Macintosh user you’ll support our honor system.
