Thank you for the very valuable information. Being a Mac user, I have had to 
use Stuffit and everyone I send a file to has to hassle with dealing with 
.sit files. The advantages to using Mac far outweighs the issue of this 
compression format. 
    The current ads for Mac are very real and important. To anyone who is 
relying upon their computer, the Mac is the most stable and useful platform 
to work with. I can operate all PC files on my iBook as I have Windows 98 
compatibilty with Virtual PC which runs Windows 98 in a more stable format 
than the PC version. I have never had to reload a system unless I am updating 
systems and old software back to system 7.5 will still run on my system 9.4. 
The old Macs came fully networkable with each individual system acting as a 
server and the concept of a server is purely a PC based concept because MS is 
not smart enough to do what Steven Jobs did in the 80's. It takes about an 
hour to upgrade from one system to another on my Macs. Our office uses Macs 
with virtual PC to operate MS only programs such as Autocad. Autocad was 
originally operated on Apple systems. 
    So, next time a virus enters your system (I have never had a virus damage 
my Apple files) and you have to go through the monumental effort to clean it 
up, toss you MS based system out and go buy an Apple. You will not only be 
happier, faster, but will be amazed at how little you have to know to use the 
computer and not have to spend any time futzing with your tool. If I bought a 
wrench that required as much attention as MS based systems, I would certainly 
not use it, or buy one that works better. 
    Everytime Intel or MS introduces a new product such as their recently 
introduced parallel processor, it is to try to catch up with Apple. The basic 
processor Apple now uses is a parallel processor and has three times the 
effective clock rate of the actual clock rate which makes it the first 
personal supercomputer. 
    Most computer experts recommend PC's as it is the only way they can get 
job security. Once Apples are installed, there is not much more to be done 
with them. 
    Meanwhile, I am going to start using my Zipit program and start sending 
out files with it to see if it saves the hassle of Aladdin's Stuffit. 
    Thanks again for the information.

In order to read the compressed files forwarded under AOL, it is necessary to
