Why bother with Deluxe anyway? What's in it that normal freeware and
shareware apps don't cover?
You can browse the contents of .sit archives, there's a contextual menu
plug-in for the Finder, plus what Allume/Aladdin calls "True Finder
Integration" (double-clicking a .sit archive opens up a Finder-like
window showing the contents).
I don't really perceive those features as being compelling reasons to
pay for the Deluxe product. Don't get me wrong - at one time I
really loved StuffIt. I paid for several Deluxe releases and was an
AladdinSys beta tester for years.
But times have changed. Except for decompression, StuffIt provides
little of interest to OS X users, IMO. We're going to .zip and .tar
now...
