Overview of Aladdin's Product Line
November 1997

At Aladdin we are very proud of our award winning software products. This overview of the product line will give you an idea what each of our products do and how they may benefit you.

StuffIt Deluxe™
StuffIt Deluxe is the complete compression solution for the Macintosh and offers compression, archiving and translation capabilities in one easy-to-use package. With StuffIt Deluxe, users “stuff” files into documents called archives. These archives assist in saving disk space, speeding file transfers over modems, networks, or the Internet, and making backups easier. The program also supports a wide variety of compression formats allowing for translation to and from other Macintosh, DOS, and UNIX formats. StuffIt is the international standard and accepted method of file compression and archiving on all major online services. Our True Finder Integration™ makes StuffIt Deluxe the easiest to use compression program available.  If you know how to use the Finder, you know how to use StuffIt Deluxe. Included in the StuffIt Deluxe package is StuffIt SpaceSaver.

That's why we call StuffIt Deluxe “The Complete Compression Solution™”.

StuffIt SpaceSaver™
StuffIt SpaceSaver is both an automatic and on-command data compression program for the Macintosh. SpaceSaver increases hard disk capacity by compressing any file or folder an average of 60%. SpaceSaver lets users compress or decompress files by keyword, label, or placement in appropriately named folders. SpaceSaver’s Idle Time Compression feature automatically compresses any file that hasn’t been modified for a specified length of time. Once compressed, your files look and act exactly the same.  Just double click a compressed file and it transparently decompresses and opens.  Nothing could be easier!

DropStuff with Expander Enhancer™ (DSEE)
DropStuff with Expander Enhancer offers users the ability to easily create StuffIt archives by simply dragging and dropping a file or icon folder onto the DropStuff icon. Also included is the Expander Enhancer, which boosts the functionality and speed of the freeware StuffIt Expander. With this package installed, Expander can expand and decode many more formats, including ZIP (.zip), Encrypted ZIP, Tape Archives (.tar), ARC (.arc), Applelink (.pkg), gzip (.gz), Unix Compress (.Z), UUencode (.uu), MIME/Base64, LHA (.lha) and StuffIt SpaceSaver files. It will also join files that were segmented with another StuffIt product, like StuffIt Deluxe.

Spring Cleaning™
Spring Cleaning is the only commercial Macintosh Uninstaller available. Spring Cleaning will help you get your hard drive sparkling clean.  It's so safe to use, you don't have to worry about entrusting it with the valuable applications and files on your Mac. Spring Cleaning brings you eleven powerful utilities for cleaning your Mac from top to bottom, including MacUninstaller, Duplicates Remover, Document Finder, Storage Folders,  Fat App Slimmer, Orphaned Prefs Remover, Alias Fixer, Help Remover, Orphan Adopter, Font Remover, and Empty Folder Remover.  It's everything you need to get your Mac's hard drive back into tiptop condition.

Private File™
Private File is encryption/decryption software. It is the easiest way to protect a user’s sensitive information for secure transmission over the Internet. Private File uses powerful 128-bit encryption to encrypt files and folders and is as easy to use as Drag and Drop. Private File is Windows 95/NT and Macintosh compatible. It also incorporates the award winning StuffIt Compression technology which allows users to save time when sending their encrypted files over the Internet. Private File includes a two-user license for the cost of one.

FlashBack™
FlashBack your work and you're protected.  Protected against loss by accidental deletion, file corruption, even from hitting the save key and over writing your file. Aladdin FlashBack is a whole new way to protect your files.  With FlashBack you can recover not only lost or damaged files, but also previous versions of files that you have changed, even if you made the changes months ago. To protect your work, just drag and drop your file onto FlashBack. To restore a file just double-click the version of the file you need.  FlashBack instantly reconstructs your file exactly as it was at the time you saved it. You can set FlashBack to protect both local and networked files, and to increment its backup every time you hit save or at specified times: by any combination of minutes, hours or days.

ShrinkWrap™
ShrinkWrap is a utility that can quickly and easily turn a disk into a file. The file can then be transmitted electronically (via the Internet, etc.) and just as quickly returned to an exact disk image of the original source disk. ShrinkWrap was developed to create disk image files quickly and efficiently, to provide a convenient and reliable means of mounting disk image files on the desktop, to seamlessly handle disk image files in their archived form, and to provide a freely distributable alternative to other disk copying methods. ShrinkWrap also supports all of the commonly used image file formats.

StuffIt InstallerMaker™
StuffIt InstallerMaker is a simple, turnkey system that allows users to easily create custom installers for their products. InstallerMaker allows developers to create Internet savvy installers that can install from multiple FTP sites. With a click of the mouse developers can also create trialware with our electronic commerce feature - no coding required. InstallerMaker employs a "one-button" philosophy allows an end-user to specify where he/she wants the software installed and click a single button.  Setup for the vendor who is distributing the software is just as easy.  By using a graphical point and click interface, developers can easily create destinations and conditions for installation of their files.  Unlike other installation technologies, there is no scripting necessary.  Contact [e-mail] or visit our Web site listed below to get a free trail version of the software.

StuffIt Engine™ SDK
StuffIt Engine Software Developer Kit (SDK) allows third party software developers to include built-in support for StuffIt archives (.sit), the Macintosh standard for archiving and compression, in their products. By licensing the StuffIt Engine a developer's product can easily create StuffIt archives (.sit), Self-Extracting archives (.sea), and encrypted archives among other formats. The StuffIt Engine consists of a series of code resources that give users access to standard StuffIt archival compression and decompression. The StuffIt Engine for the Mac allows developers to use the industry standard StuffIt compression and decompression formats in their products easily.
