ALADDIN SYSTEMS UPDATES FLAGSHIP
COMPRESSION UTILITY, STUFFIT DELUXE 6.0
StuffIt Deluxe 6.0.1 Update Provides Greater File Compression Support and
Macintosh OS X Capability
Watsonville, CA – March 19, 2001 – Providing Macintosh(r) and PC users with
the most robust cross-platform compatible compression solutions, Aladdin
Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Aladdin Systems Holdings, Inc.
(OTC BB: ALHI), today announced the release of StuffIt Deluxe(tm) 6.0.1 – a
new update to Aladdin Systems’ award-winning compression utility StuffIt
Deluxe 6.0. With this new update, Macintosh users gain several new
features, including additional support for GnuTar files, symbolic link
support, and improved Microsoft Entourage(tm) “Stuff and Mail” support.
StuffIt Deluxe is the industry standard for file compression. Wherever
there is a need for compressing large files into smaller archives, whether
to fit them on removable media, posting them to a web site, or sending them
via email, StuffIt is there. And on the other side, when downloading files
from the Internet or receiving files via email, StuffIt gives you the power
to expand and access any file type sent.
“With the industry focused on the launch of OS X, Aladdin Systems
recognizes that a large user base will continue to operate under Mac OS 8
and 9 variants,” said Peter Thomas, StuffIt product manager. “Ready for OS
X, StuffIt Deluxe 6.0.1 provides virtually all Macintosh users with the
same level of flexibility, capability and ease of use that are identified
with the StuffIt family of products.”
StuffIt Deluxe 6.0.1 is free for registered users of StuffIt Deluxe 6.0. It
can be downloaded exclusively at: (www.aladdinsys.com/support/updates.html)
