I feel kind of silly announcing this without providing any real detail, but to those registered users of Stuffit Deluxe, you should be receiving your free copies of Stuffit Deluxe 2.0 in the mail fairly soon, this according to Aladdin's GEnie support bbs. The only thing I recall from what I read last week was that they are calling it 2.0 because of the number of improvements they have made to it. Parts of it will be faster, I am assuming that certain "features" (i.e., bugs) will be fixed (I know of two or three that were supposed to be fixed in 1.1 that hopefully will also make it to 2.0), and there are probably some new goodies in there as well. --Frank Malczewski (fdm@wlv.imsd.contel.com) (malczews@nunki.usc.edu)

Recently a question was asked about the new features of Stuffit Deluxe 2.0 - well from the 'Stuffit Deluxe 2.0 Addendum', I quote: New Features in 2.0 ------------------- Version 2.0 furthers the many feaures with Stuffit Deluxe. Most notable of our additions are tremendous speed boosts, intelligent compression through "Best Guess, the ability for creation of Self-UnStuffing archives, a collection of Stuffit Tools, new Optimizers and a new Encryptor. A sampling of the many new features in the 2.0 package include: * An intelligent compression option, Best Guess * A new compression method, Optimal * The ability to create Self-UnStuffing archives * A Save As... command * Automatic Launching of an application and a compressed document * An Optimizer that helps archiving of text files * A MacPaint Optimizer that reduces the size of MacPaint files * PassLock, a password scheme for keeping sensitive files from prying eyes * Desk Accessories for Stuffing and Unstuffing * SIT Converter, an application for converting archives into a smaller form * Hypercard XCMDs for Stuffing & UnStuffing (usable in HC, SC, Plus, etc.) * MicroPhone II scripts for Stuffing & UnStuffing * QuicKeys2 extensions for Stuffing & UnStuffing * MPW Tools for Stuffing & UnStuffing * A Stuffit XTND for reading archive contents in XTND compatible apps (like MacWrite II and On Location) * Additions to the Scripting Language * And More! If anyone has any questions about the above, or Stuffit Deluxe in general, feel free to post or EMail me... Disclaimer: I have no fiscal interest in Aladdin Systems, though I am involved personally with the company, and am the author of the Hypercard and MicroPhone II 'tools' mentioned above.
