Yeah, but I like being able to select a bunch of icons and drag-drop them on
Stuffit Expander and have them all deHQX and unpack.

What would really be neat would be a utility to go with Stuffit Lite that
would work like Stuffit Expander in reverse -- you'd drag a bunch of files
onto it, and it would use Apple Events to fire up Stuffit Lite and compress
them into an archive.

One reason for picking Stuffit Lite over Compact Pro is that Lite has
encryption.  (Pro only has encryption for US users -- boo, hiss!)

My only gripe with Lite is that every now and again, it unexpectedly quits
with error 3.  If I immediately run it again, it works.  I don't know what's
causing this.  It could be an INIT conflict; I have quite a gadget-laden
machine.  Has anyone else had similar problems?  I tried the usual tricks --
deleting the preferences file, zapping and rebuilding the desktop file,
re-installing the system, re-installing Lite from my master disk.  (Yes, I
registered it.)  My suspicion is that Central Point Anti-Virus may be
something to do with it, as I bought and installed that at about the time I
registered Lite, and that's when the problems started...
