In regrards to your posting, Raymond Lau, author of StuffIt and SFVolINIT
has gone commerical.  The new verison of SFVolINIT is now called Shortcut.
(you can find files, create new folders, rename/delete files/folders 
with an option to UnStuffIt at any Open or Save dialog)
You can see the ad for it in MacWorld/User.  As for StuffIt, the new version
will be called StuffIt Deluxe.  It will have virus detection (since you can't
detect viruses in archives until they're decompressed), multiple (I think)
decompression, a new algorithm for decompressing and I believe better use
of MultiFinder and Background opeations.  He still plans to continue 
"supposedly" with his shareware upgrades for StuffIt but it won't have nice
features like deluxe.
The company is Aladdin Systems Inc.
