Well, I don't know if I mentioned it explicitly, but this is certainly one
of the reasons that using Stuffit 1.5.1 makes more sense. It's been
around for a long time, and a load of people have *already* paid for
stuffit. Not only that, but some of the other compaction programs know
what to do with stuffit 1.5.1 files, so even if you have not paid for
Stuffit then you still may have paid for something else which can handle
Stuffit 1.5.1 files.
