Aladdin Says StuffIt Deluxe 7.5 Is the Ultimate Zip Utility Exclusive Microsoft Office Integration, Document Distribution Features Eric Grevstad
Mon 5/20/02 -- Aladdin Systems says its new StuffIt Deluxe 7.5 creates the smallest compressed archive files, saving even more disk space or online transfer time than the popular PKZip and WinZip. But in addition to taking less space, the new StuffIt promises more features, including Microsoft Office integration.
The OfficeReady StuffIt feature provides one-click compression and e-mail from within Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, while a new Self-Extracting Archive Builder creates archives that open automatically for painless document distribution, including optional text message displays for recipients and e-mail notification of successful deliveries.
New 128-bit encryption offers maximum privacy protection. And StuffIt Express Personal Edition works with Windows' Scheduled Tasks to automate data backups or file transfers.
StuffIt Deluxe 7.5 for Windows costs $40; a Standard Edition without the OfficeReady, SEA Builder, and StuffIt Express features is $25. (For a limited time, a link on the Standard Edition page on the company's Web site offers the Deluxe version for only $30 -- Ed.)
