5.0 out of 5 stars Essential PC/MAC zip package., November 2, 2004

By 

OverTheMoon ([e-mail]) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Allume Stuffit Deluxe 8.5 (CD-ROM)

Stuffit is mainly used to extract SIT files. SIT files are the MAC user's choice for zipping files. So a compressed SIT file that lands in on a Windows OS must use this package if you want to extract the SIT. There are no two ways about it. This is all there is for that job on a Windows OS.

Stuffit extracts MAC SIT files to Windows PC. That is basically it but Stuffit can also zip PC files for the MAC. So sending a MAC user a SIT file from a PC is a pretty cool thing to able to do. Stuffit is what you need for all that. Nothing spiffing incredable about it. It just works with SIT files. Either completely useless to you or a lifesaver.

1.0 out of 5 stars Won't Install And Lousy Tech Support, August 25, 2004

By 

D. Weldon (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Allume Stuffit Deluxe 8.5 (CD-ROM)

Software would not install (Error 1606). Several calls to tech support just got me a "try again later" after waiting on the phone for 15 minutes. Aladdin Systems web site offers no updates or tech support form. Just a forum board that you can join, I suppose to "discuss" your problem with other users. I've bought a lot of software over the years. This product and company are the worst I've found. There are better options out there, if you want compression software.
