Sure it does! It makes the company that makes Stuffit more money. :P That's why I stick with archive formats like ZIP and RAR. ZIP hasn't changed in umpteen years but that means it's a stable format. RAR has been improved upon several times but not to the point that it's not backwards compatable. Since SIT is controlled by one company, they can twiddle with and obsolete it any time they want. They could have put an option into Stuffit 5 to make version 4 archives but they chose not to. That way when one person upgrades, anyone they send SIT archives to would also have to upgrade. ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
