I've heard a bunch of people badmouthing StuffIt. I 'live' at Ray's home site,
and I've been talking to him. StuffIt is DOWNWARD COMPATIBLE, folks!
Pretty soon, if what I've heard is right, StuffIt will be the only program
you need. It CAN unpit PackIt files, and a version in the works(?,Ray?) 
can unBinHex!
So, periodically, you post StuffIt to comp.binaries.mac, but even people
who DON't have it can pack with PackIt and StuffIt can unpack!
Sheesh.
