	I don't know offhand what the shareware status of Stuffit 1.5 is vs. it's
previous incarnations.  But I can tell you that you will have problems when
files start being posted  that were stuffed with 1.5.  The file format has
changed from 1.4 to 1.5 and if you are not using 1.5, forget reading the new
files!  I personally think the changes are WONDERFUL, especially the new
HMF - Heirarchically Maintained Folders!
