Hi, there,

	My office is in a state of deciding on a compression software to
buy. Could anyone give me recommendations on the disadvantages and 
advantages of following programs:
	1. StuffIt Classic
	2. StuffIt Deluxe
	3. Compactor
	4. DiskDoubler

	I have used 1. and 2. and think that Compactor is faster and saves
more space after compression. But I don't know anything about the other 
two. It was told (don't quite remember the detail) that You can use a
compressed file compressed by DiskDoubler without de-compress it with the
program first. Anyone has experience on that and how would you rate the
program with other 3 programs? Our office do not need any network jobs,
and all we do is to compress graphics jobs done on MacDraw, PageMaker, 
Word, FreeHand. 

	You input is very much appreciated.

Peter Liu
