I noticed a listing for it in the new ComputerWare catalog -- is it out yet?
Has any information on upgrading to it for registered users been announced?
Anyone know what the "deluxe" features are? (Please, God -- Batch
Stuffing.) Will Batman and Robin be able to escape from the giant ice cream
soda? Huh?
For the answer to these and other thrilling questions... I need the help of
someone In The Know.
TIA...

Huh? > 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 -- +--------------------------------------------------+ Leonard Rosenthol | GEnie : MACgician Lazerware, inc. | MacNet: MACgician UUCP: svc@well.UUCP | ALink : D0025

I do not believe that Aladdin has set pricing yet but they are committed to the users who have made Stuffit the standard that it has become. -- +--------------------------------------------------+ Leonard Rosenthol | GEnie : MACgician Lazerware, inc. | MacNet: MACgician UUCP: svc@well.UUCP | ALink : D0025

There will be a change in the shareware agreement; Aladdin will announce details when the new versions are released. As far as where to send the money, the address given in StuffIt is still valid (to the best of my knowledge). There will, as Leonard mentioned, be an upgrade policy for those people who have already registered. I do not know when the cut-off date is to register to get the upgrade price for SIT Deluxe. If there is sufficient interest, I will enquire (e-mail to me please, save bandwidth). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Stephan Somogyi MacUserLabs@cup.portal.com NetWorkShop Coordinator or MacUser ...sun!cup.portal.com!MacUserLabs Stay alert, trust no-one, keep your laser handy.
