I just tried the following experiment. I used Apple's DiskCopy to make an .image file from an 800K disk. I compressed the resulting file with both StuffIt Deluxe and Compact Pro. Here are the results: StuffIt Deluxe - reduced the file from 838,843 bytes to 18,977 in 60 minutes (yes, one hour). Compact Pro - reduced the file from 838,843 bytes to 1,731 in 10 seconds! I realize that there are many tests in which the difference isn't so great, but isn't this a bit ridiculous? Rick Zaccone -- zaccone@bucknell.edu
