The following comment, if regarded as advice, is worth what you pay for it.

I too got nailed by the Stuffit Deluxe installer.  (And, no, my disk diag-
nostics do not show a bad sector or any such thing).  The Standard installer
went from item 31 to item 5, recursively re-installing everything inside its
own folders.

(BY THE WAY, ALADDIN, WHY DID YOU GIVE THOSE FOLDERS SUCH HELPFUL NAMES AS
"HELP" OR WHATEVER?  DIDN'T YOU EVEN CONSIDER SOMETHING LIKE "STUFFIT DELUXE
HELP"??)

I did that twice, with the same results.  Finally I tried re-installing my
System software, then installing Stuffit.  It worked.  Corrupted system?
Luck?  The phase of Mercury?  I dunno, but I got Stuffit installed... and
my regard for Aladdin took a drop.

All in all, I miss the old days when "install" meant "click and drag."
