MATTHEW: StuffIt Deluxe full retail price is $79.99, upgrades are $29.99 and we actually do any version to any version.

How much is the- I could always add that in to the beginning or end. GARY: Yeah, No I think, no, we forgot to talk about price. Good? Everything good? So I guess we just basically do the same-ĬAMERA OPERATOR: The ? was getting under the ? GARY: This is Gary and Matthew with MacMost Now. You can Stuff and burn CDs from DropStuff you can even Stuff an upload to your document i disk directly from within a bunch of different StuffIt applications MATTHEW: Absolutely and a lot of our applications, for example DropStuff now has built in FTP so you can Stuff an FTP directly from DropStuff. It appears in the menu bar, it appears if you right click, and it makes it very quick to just create compressed archives, upload them to your website, just e-mail them to somebody, do whatever you need to do. GARY: Excellent and one of the things I like about StuffIt the most is the ease of use. I mean in addition to the optimize we also have a way of, let's say you have several very very small text files you want to compress we can even do something as simple as blocking those text files together and treating them as a single large file to get more efficient compression so all kind of tricks sit under the hood with StuffIt to get the best possible compression result.
#Stuffit deluxe sit archive#
MATTHEW: That's exactly correct what we're doing is we basically sort files as they're coming into the archive and there's a whole bunch of clever tricks we can do. GARY: So it's specialization, so depending on the type of file StuffIt will pick the best way to compress it and use that algorithm to compress it and put it in the same StuffIt type archive. So for example if you take a JPEG image with version twelve we can compress it between twenty and thirty percent without reducing image quality we also have specialized compressors for TIFF files, bitmaps, PhotoShop files, PDFs, Office documents, there's a whole range of files we compress extremely efficiently. MATTHEW: Really what we're specializing in is compression within a particular file format. What's, like, the latest coolest thing in version twelve?

GARY: Version twelve! I think I've been using every single one. MATTHEW: Sure StuffIt is our compression product, it goes back a long long way on the Macintosh been around since 1986 and we're still here developing today.
