I prefer Compactor to Stuffit for at least one task: archiving my vast
collection of shareware/PD programs. For example, I have close to 2MB
(compressed) of INITs and CDEVs, stored on floppies. I used to have to break
them up across several floppies as INITs and CDEVs A-M, INITs and CDEVs N-Z,
etc.
With Compactor, I can create an archive that spans several floppies, and
easily add, extract, remove, or rename items to, from, or in the archive,
all without re-joining it all on my hard disk. To my knowledge, Stuffit
cannot do this.
