I'd like to sugggest two improvements to stuffit:

   1)	Differential LZW-packing. It's described in the TIFF 5.0
	documentation and in addition to improving 8-bit graymap
	packing, it also improves sound packing by 10%-30%. I
	wrote a program that does the differentiation and then
	used Stuffit to pack the file. The results improve at
	higher sampling rates.

   2)	"XCMD" interface. Someone requested an atob, btoa filter
	for Stuffit. The best solution would have been to let them
	write it for themselves. The binhex 4.0 and segment commands
	could also be implemented as external code. This way you
	could have a stripped-down version of stuffit...
