Publisher's description of StuffIt Expander 6.0

From Smith Micro:

StuffIt Expander 6.0 is a free file-decompression utility that can open virtually any compressed or encoded file. Use this program to access StuffIt (SIT), Zip (ZIP), gzip (GZ), bzip (BZ), lla (LLA), ARC (ARC), Arj (ARJ), uuencode (UUE), Binhex (HQX), Macbinary (BIN), and MIME/Base64 archives.

Cross-platform features include a text-conversion setting that can format a text document for use on PC, Unix-, Linux-, or Macintosh-based systems. Expander allows you to automatically associate Macintosh files to the appropriate Windows application. StuffIt Expander supports Unicode for preservation of international file names that include 2-byte and other non-Roman characters. Access the contents of an archive or encoded with a double-click, no interface, or nag screen.

This version adds support for two additional compression formats and features iSupport to connect you to Aladdin Systems for personal support help.

Editor's review of StuffIt Expander 6.0

  • 4.0 stars

  • "Why let Mac users have all the fun?"
Giving WinZip a run for its money, StuffIt Standard offers effortless file compression and encryption for any type of file. It matches WinZip in several features, including archived password protection, right-click compression, and a gallery of easy-to-use wizards. The utility also comes with a few unique features, including a robust search tool that locates files by date, type, size, and compression format. For others to decompress native StuffIt files, they'll either need the free StuffIt Expander utility or they'll be presented with a self-extracting archive, which adds to the overall file size. Fortunately, StuffIt also can compress in several other formats, including ZIP, TAR, and BinHex, though you won't get the added JPEG compression. Given its features, compression quality, and encryption options, StuffIt Standard stands up to WinZip in most areas. Digital-photo mavens may even prefer it.
