1. I prefer readable names. If you're running a binhex equivalent on a machine other than a Mac, then that program should put the correct Mac name in the MacBinary output and name the file containing that MacBinary as needed to conform to the requirements of that other machine. 2. I would like StuffIt to have the option to create a folder, but I would prefer you not to force that on me. Sometimes I want to look at the documentation or README file on a program without extracting the whole mess. Forcing the folder prevents me from doing that. Since both of the above opinions are at odds with previous postings, it should be obvious that no one form meets the needs of all recipients. -- Kurt W.
