• Maximum compression is what you get from StuffIt's superior technology. That means you have greater flexibility when distributing, or backing up your files. StuffIt has the strongest compression available today.
  
  
• StuffIt delivers cutting-edge technology. StuffIt archives protect file attribute information for both PC and Mac files. It's Unicode compliant, so files that are named with non-roman and 2-byte characters will be successfully preserved when you expand them. And, if you're moving to Windows XP, the StuffIt file format will retain any information stored in an NTFS file stream.
