THANK YOU!
We at Aladdin Systems would like to thank you for using Aladdin Expander 5.1, and for your continued support.

THIS IS FREEWARE
Aladdin Expander 5.1 is copyrighted freeware.  This means you are able to use the software forever at no charge.  All we ask is that you let your friends, family, and co-workers know how much you like it and have them give it a try.  Feel free to pass the installer [Aladdin Expander 5.1.exe] on to them, or point them to our Web site:  <http://www.aladdinsys.com/expander/> to get their own copy. In addition to the Windows version of Expander there are also versions for Linux and Macintosh.  (We have tiles you can place on your Web site to link to the Aladdin Expander download page.  They can be found at: <http://www.aladdinsys.com/company/weblogos.html>.)

HOW TO USE ALADDIN EXPANDER
Aladdin Expander is the easiest-to-use file decompressor for Windows with three choices to match how you work.  You can either double-click on the file you wish to expand, or drag it on top of the Expander desktop shortcut.  Or, if you are more comfortable using context menus, then right-click on the archive and choose "Expand" from the menu options.  There is no application to launch or interface to learn. It just works, and it's FREE.

STUFFIT(tm) 5.5 FOR WINDOWS
If you need powerful, yet easy to use, data compression for things like email attachments, posting files to the Internet, or simply to free up space on your hard disk drive then StuffIt is the right tool for you. StuffIt archives have up to 20% greater compression than Zip utilities. StuffIt for Windows creates either StuffIt or Zip archives just as easily as using Expander.  StuffIt provides drag-and-drop compression to the desktop shortcut, or you can use right-mouse context menus for one-step compression including automatically attaching archives to email messages.

KNOWN ISSUES
When an archive or encoded file resides on a network and the root folder name of the network contains spaces, Aladdin Expander will display an error indicating that the archive or encoded file doesn't exist.  This will only occur if the archive or encoded file is dropped on the application icon (not into the running application view area) or the archive or encoded file document icon is double-clicked.  If you experience this error, try dropping the document icons into the running application or open the files using the standard open dialog (File menu - Expand...).
