Aladdin Ships Faster StuffIt Expander 5.1

Faced with competition from MindVision’s new MindExpander, a preview release of which can expand a number of formats, including MacBinary, BinHex, and StuffIt 4.x, Aladdin Systems has responded by updating StuffIt Expander to version 5.1. New in StuffIt Expander 5.1 are integrated support for Zip, Gzip, and uuencoded files (those formats previously required the commercial StuffIt Engine); significant performance increases over 5.0; the elimination of the need for external files; access to Internet Config settings; support for helper applications for unknown file types; and a smaller file size. If you’re a registered user of StuffIt Deluxe 4.x or DropStuff 4.x, make sure to read Aladdin’s notes about how to continue to use those older versions with StuffIt Expander 5.1. StuffIt Expander is a 424K download.
