By clicking ╥Continue╙, you will get to the ╥Standard Install╙ installation screen. Just click ╥Install╙ for a full installation. If you wish to install just a part of the StuffIt Lite package, click on the ╥Custom╙ button in the lower-left corner, and then select the packages you want installed.
If you are upgrading from StuffIt Classic, please read the section below entitled ╥Upgrading from StuffIt Classic╙.
╥Read Us First!╙ Folder
See the ╥Read Us First!╙ folder (to be installed on your hard disk) for important, updated information about the software.
Register Your Software
Please remember that StuffIt Lite is shareware. This means that after you have used StuffIt Lite for 15 days and plan to use it further, you must send in the $30 registration fee. Registering your copy will entitle you to many benefits resulting from being a registered user, and will also enable additional features in the product! We encourage you to give the original StuffIt Lite Installer (not your registered copy) to anyone who also wishes to evaluate StuffIt Lite for their use.
The User╒s Guide
Even though the software is easy to use, the comprehensive User╒s Guide covers every feature of the software. An addendum to the User╒s Guide can be found in the ╥Read Us First!╙ folder. This file contains additional information which will aid your understanding of the product as well as explaining any new features and enhancements that have occurred since the creation of the User╒s Guide.
Thanks
We at Aladdin Systems would like to thank you for using StuffIt Lite and supporting shareware.

Listed below are sections on possible conflicts and workarounds and upgrading from StuffIt Classic.
Version of Adobe Type Reunion earlier than 1.0.2 will cause StuffIt Lite to quit unexpectantly. Contact Adobe Systems for an update.
Users of System 6 without MultiFinder
If your Macintosh is started up WITHOUT MultiFinder, StuffIt Lite will be unable to add comments to an archive or turn a self-extracting archive back into a standard one, whether invoked via the Archive menu, or using the corresponding function icons in the archive window.
Therefore we recommend that users of System 6 start up their computers with MultiFinder turned on.
For safety reasons and to allow you to keep control of all your files and folders, the StuffIt Lite installer will not delete or move files and folders previously installed by the StuffIt Classic 1.6 installer. If you wish to continue using StuffIt Classic, there are no further steps required. If you wish to entirely replace StuffIt Classic with StuffIt Lite, there are several things you need to know.
Due to customer demand, auxiliary files and folders that StuffIt uses have been combined into an ╥Aladdin folder╙. The Aladdin folder is located in the Extensions folder of the startup disk╒s System folder.
Shown below are the folders installed by StuffIt Classic and what you can do to consolidate them.
Encryptors
The Encryptors folder can be found in the System folder. StuffIt Lite has built-in encryption (which is enabled by registering your copy) and so does not use external encryptors at all. You may delete the Encryptors folder entirely.
Help
The Help folder can be found in the System folder. It is not used by StuffIt Lite. If you will not be using StuffIt Classic, you may delete the StuffIt Classic Help file. If you don╒t have any other Aladdin Systems product, you may delete the Online Documentation Toolkit¬ as well. If no other vendors used this folder to place their Help files, and if no files are remaining in the folder, you may delete this folder entirely.
Optimizers
Optimizers are no longer supported during Stuff operations. StuffIt Lite will use optimizers that it finds in the Optimizers folder during an UnStuff operation if the file being UnStuffed was optimized. If you don╒t have any archives that contain items which have been optimized, feel free to delete the Optimizers folder entirely. If you do have optimized items in archives, then you will need to move the Optimizers folder into the Aladdin folder.
Preferences
The Preferences folder is found in the System folder. Delete the StuffIt Classic Preferences file found within the folder since the file will no longer be used. Do not delete the entire folder since it is the location of other application preferences files as well as the StuffIt Lite Preference file.
Self-UnStuffers
The Self-UnStuffers folder is found in the StuffIt Classic or System folder. Since the ability to create Self-UnStuffers in built into StuffIt Lite, the Self-UnStuffers folder is no longer needed and can be deleted.
StuffIt Classic folder
You chose the location of this folder when installing StuffIt Classic. The folder originally contained the StuffIt Classic application, the Self-UnStuffers folder, and the StuffIt Classic User╒s Guide. This entire folder can be deleted.
Translators
All previously available translators are compatible with StuffIt Lite. However, you will need to move these translators from the existing Translators folder (which is found in the System folder of your startup disk) into the Translators folder found in the Aladdin folder. Make sure that the newly installed StuffIt Lite translators are not replaced by older translators. Once you have moved the previous translators, you may delete the Translators folder from your System folder.
This installer was created in about an hour using StuffIt InstallerMaker¬. StuffIt InstallerMaker provides many advanced features while being VERY easy to use. By using InstallerMaker for this installer, we not only saved a distribution disk due to Aladdin╒s advanced compression technology, but provided our users a way to easily customize installation. If you are interested in making installation easier for your users while saving distribution costs due to the need for fewer disks, contact our licensing department at:
