And now Allume thinks they can convince PC  users to drop Zip as the compression of choice in favor of Sit. HA HA HA     So what utility do you like for opening files instead of Stuffit, or are you only talking about COMPRESSING files?     Is there a utility you prefer for opening zip files?     Not familiar with Allume and Packit, would you care to expand and comment on these items and this topic in general?  Thanks!
