*************
12:35 EDT Smith Micro bought Allume, the latest company to control
commercial rights for the classic Mac compression product originally
created as shareware by Ray Lau:
The first version of StuffIt was written by Raymond Lau in 1987. It
was made available as shareware on the major online services during the
summer of 1987. By the end of 1987, the StuffIt file format had become
an accepted standard on CompuServe, GEnie and Delphi, then the dominant
online services. It has remained an online standard to this date.
Raymond has been an active participant in the engineering of the
product for all versions up to and including StuffIt Deluxe 3.5
released October, 1994. Version 4.0 and later still contain the same
core code, but Lau ceased to be actively involved in the development of
the product as of January 1995.
