	Actually you are half right...StuffIt is looking for the preferences
file (and the Aladdin folder), but is is being TOO intelligent about it.  It
is resolving ALL aliases that it finds - including things like "Last Edition
Used" which will usually point to another disk.

	This problem has been corrected with StuffIt Lite 3.0.3 available 
shortly.  StuffIt Lite 3.0.3 also features some other bug fixes and some
COOL new features...
