- Another nice thing that -I- like about MacCompress over StuffIt Dlx translator
- is that I can make good use of MacCompress along with HandOff.
-
- Using HandOff I can define any file that ends in '.Z' as being a MacCompress
- document. Thus by double-clicking on the compressed .Z file, MacCompress is
- launched and asks if I want to decompress the startup file.
-
- If you try this with StuffIt Dlx, SD thinks you're feeding it a script and
- chokes big time.
-
- BTW, (FWIW) I love the new StuffIt Dlx. It just isn't everything to everybody
- and I'm not sure it can or should be...
