I'm using 1.3.8 with little or no problem *except* that it can crash when
zipping archives with several hundred items. Unzipping is no problem at
all. I've not had to create too many spanned archives but when I did some
tests it seemed to work fine; maybe it was with an earlier version?

The point is that although Stuffit Deluxe will unzip, Zipit means you can
create archives on the Mac that almost any PC can read (I know very few PC
owners without Zip capability).
