Aladdin just released StuffIt 7, the easiest way to zip your files! NEW for StuffIt 7 is Windows XP compatibility, ArchiveSearch™, StuffIt Express™ Personal Edition, and more. Read on for more details (including a special offer for DVPC), or visit www.stuffit.com/stuffitwin. StuffIt provides users with innovative, easy-to-use compression tools that allow them to both create and expand archives and encoded files in a variety of widely used formats. With the ability to create segmented archives, encrypted archives, and custom self-extracting archives, StuffIt provides a complete solution for users looking to package files for distribution. StuffIt 7.0 was also awarded the “Designed for Windows XP” logo certification. The Designed for Windows XP logo program makes it easy for customers to identify products that deliver the best possible computing experience when run on a Windows XP system. StuffIt 7 introduces two new applications, ArchiveSearch™ and StuffIt Express™ Personal Edition, which combine StuffIt Browser™, DropStuff™, and StuffIt Expander™, to give users unprecedented control over the management and access of compressed data. From individual users to network administrators, StuffIt 7 provides a solution to fit any file compression or transfer task. “Even with larger hard drives, and broadband Internet access, compression software is a necessary part of any computer users toolkit, not only for speed but also safety,” said Matthew Covington, Senior Product Manager for StuffIt. “Using StuffIt is an effective way to ensure the contents of your attachment is protected while in transit.” StuffIt’s archiving features are built with the Internet in mind. StuffIt was the first product to provide users with convenient one-step compress and email features, and StuffIt 7 is the first product to offer users one-click compress and FTP via StuffIt Express, an innovative new tool designed to let users automate all of their file compression and transfer tasks. “For most of our users file compression is just one step in what is often a more complex and time consuming file transfer process,” Covington continued. “Using StuffIt Express you can archive files, login to an FTP server, upload the data, and send a custom notification email, all with one click of the mouse.” StuffIt Express: By reducing the number of steps necessary to complete everyday file transfer tasks, StuffIt Express saves users time, and money, by guaranteeing error-free file transfers every time. StuffIt Express works by allowing users to create custom file transfer applications that contain all the information necessary to complete a specific task. Users then double-click, or drag files onto, these applications to start the transfer process. Driven by a simple point and click interface, StuffIt Express requires no knowledge of programming or scripting, and its easy-to-use wizards allow users to start creating these time-saving applications within minutes of installing the software. ArchiveSearch: StuffIt 7.0 also provides new features targeted at business users looking for new ways to access their archived data. ArchiveSearch, a feature exclusive to StuffIt, allows users to quickly find files that are buried deep within both Zip and StuffIt archives. ArchiveSearch supports searches over the network, and allows users to create and save custom search criteria. With its support of wild card characters in searches, ArchiveSearch makes it easy for users to quickly and easily find related groups of files without having to manually decompress and search through each archive. “With StuffIt 7 we have extended the scope of what users expect from a compression product, without raising the price,” Covington concluded. “This represents a tremendous value for customers.” |
