Matthews blm@6sceng.UUCP Since we seem to be voicing opinions, I'm siding with Stuffit. While compactor's interface is wonderfully simple, on the surface, Stuffit doesn't seem to be very different from Compactor; just a lot more capabilites. Best thing for me, though, is that it can handle compressed files in just about ANY format, from Packit to DiskDoubler to Zip. It's handy to have them in one program. I do use both, though. (Stuffit won't do Compactor :-) ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Gousha | "Yes, Star Trek IS a way of life" gousha@cory.berkeley.edu | (my own philosophy) All normal disclaimers apply, as well as some abnormal ones.
