Who needs StuffIt Deluxe where OS X can handle all your compressed files? ZIP is a de facto standard and like other early Mac compressors Allume won't keep SIT from dying.
Try WinZIP or WinRAR on a *slow* PC system and you'll see what real performance is.
So who's gonna pay for this crap?

A dying utility - keywerks

.zip isn’t the best format at all. What about files to be compressed and coming along with some necessary information in the resource fork?

A dying utility - tech-man

apple's zip feature stores resource forks in the archive as a separate file...windows users can ignore...mac users can uncompress and not lose resource forks. this is built into osx.
