	According to the president of Aladdin Systems, inc., (the folks who
got Ray's stuff) Stuffit Deluxe is slightly behind original schedule but
both it and Shortcut (a REAL NICE extension of SFVolInit) should be available
by/at the Boston MacWorld Expo.
	Stuffit Deluxe offers a number of REALLY nice improvements both to the
interface (to make it less frightening to the noive) as well as significant
abilities such as archive changes at ANY level of a hierarchy (ie. add a new
file three levels down, delete everything at the 2nd level, etc.), printing
and saving of archive contents (in text format), and lots of other stuff that
I don't remember from seeing a demo a couple of weeks back.
	I am not sure what you mean by 'Batch Stuffing' but I seem to be able 
to do that already in some regard.  If you have a more concreate statement about
what  you need, I can tell you if it's got it.

 I think Batman will die, but Robin will live and develop 'bats' in his belfry
