ALADDIN SYSTEMS SHIPS STUFFIT EXPRESS 1.1 FOR MAC OS X
BUSINESS PRODUCTIVITY SOFTWARE SAVES USERS TIME AND MONEY BY GUARANTEEING
ERROR FREE FILE TRANSFERS
Macworld Expo, New York, NY Booth #1319- July 18, 2001- Aladdin Systems,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Aladdin Systems Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB:
ALHI), today announced StuffIt Express(tm) 1.1 for Mac OS X, a new business
productivity tool designed to save companies time and money by guaranteeing
error free file transfers every time. StuffIt Express allows businesses to
build custom """"""""Express Box(tm)"""""""" applications that can combine file transfer
tasks with data compression and encryption to facilitate common tasks such
as filling out forms to send with an attachment. By using an Express Box,
businesses can help their customers perform complex file transfer actions
while shielding them from confusing and unfamiliar technology.
""""""""Many companies whose business depends on exchanging files with customers
are fearful of moving to an electronic-only delivery system because they
are concerned about the proficiency of their customers' file transfer
skills,"""""""" said Jonathan Kahn, CEO of Aladdin Systems. """"""""A StuffIt Express
drop box can be inserted into the Mac OS X Dock, making it easily
accessible for frequent use for you and your customers. If you can't
personally assist your customers, an Express Box is the next best thing.""""""""
""""""""By combining the elegant and intuitive Aqua user interface with
unprecedented power and stability, Mac OS X is the most technically
advanced personal computer operating system on the market,"""""""" said Ron
Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. """"""""We are
delighted that Aladdin has developed StuffIt Express for Mac OS X, helping
Mac users save time and money by streamlining Internet file transfers.""""""""
An Express Box allows anyone to perform multi-step file transfer tasks -
such compressing files, uploading them to a password protected FTP server,
and then sending an e-mail notification - simply by dragging a file onto an
Express Box desktop application.
StuffIt Express builds on Aladdin's award-winning StuffIt(tm) compression
technology, by adding powerful FTP, Web, form, and email file transfer
features. While competing products lock customers into a particular way of
working, the power of StuffIt Express is its flexibility. The product
allows users to create custom solutions that are tailor made to fit any
required file transfer task. Businesses are able to adapt the solution as
their relationship with a customer changes. No coding or scripting is
required, and with its Wizard feature, users are able to create custom drop
boxes within minutes of installing the product.
""""""""The most valuable thing that StuffIt Express has given me is peace of
mind,"""""""" said Mark Kawakami of After Hours, an advertising agency. """"""""StuffIt
Express has allowed me to streamline the process of exchanging files with
both vendors and customers. The amount of time lost dealing with
inexperienced users, corrupt files, and other communication breakdowns has
been a constant source of frustration. StuffIt Express has helped me to
solve these problems.""""""""
StuffIt Express also provides a number of security features that are
designed to ease the flow of communication and productivity for businesses
that depend on electronic file transfers. StuffIt Express allows users to
create and send Express Boxes to their customers without having to
authorize access to secure areas. For example, by using an Express Box to
enable customers to upload files, users can allow access to sensitive file
servers with out providing the URL and login information. Express Boxes can
be password-protected and be configured to time- out after a specific date,
or after a specified number of days after they are first used. They can
also be limited to a specific number of uses.
