and if you are running Mac OS 9, you NEED that version!
ZipIt
often (but not always) produces smaller archives than DropStuff or
StuffIt Commands
That would only happen IF you have changed the default
settings in ZipIt for compression level, but didn't do the same for
StuffIt. The default is 6 in both, but can also be changed in both -
and on a script by script basis with StuffIt Commands.
(the latter two often producing archives that are larger
than the original files!)
I would LOVE to see an example of that. PLEASE send me the
files in question.
and has the convenience of drag-and-drop operation.
That's what DropZip (available as a separate application OR
as part of StuffIt Deluxe) is for.
[Blush.] I've never tried the full version of
StuffIt so I don't know how it compares with this, apart from its only
handling one format (though in several ways).
You lost me on this one, Nigel.
StuffIt supports the creation and expansion of over a DOZEN
different formats - from StuffIt to Zip to Tar (and many more in
between!), depending on your choice of target platforms or users.
