<p>ALADDIN ANNOUNCES INSTALLERMAKER 6.0- POWERFUL NEW STUFFIT FORMAT<br />
SIGNIFICANTLY COMPRESSES INSTALLERS FOR SIZABLE TIME AND COST SAVINGS</p>
<p>StuffIt InstallerMaker 6.0 Compresses Installers Smaller Than Any<br />
Other Development Tool And Cuts Installer Build Times In Half</p>
<p>Macworld Expo San Francisco - Aladdin Systems, Inc., today announced<br />
StuffIt InstallerMaker(tm) 6.0 is expected to ship in February 1999.<br />
InstallerMaker 6.0 compresses installers up to 15% tighter than any<br />
other software installation utility. InstallerMaker 6.0 is now<br />
PowerPC native which, combined with its increase in compression,<br />
allows developers to create complex installers in half the time.</p>
<p>"Saving time and money is the goal of every software developer,<br />
Internet Service Provider and IS professional, and InstallerMaker 6.0<br />
saves both," said Pauline Shumake, product manager. "Software created<br />
with InstallerMaker 6.0 will take significantly less time to produce,<br />
and the developer's software will have reduced download times, an<br />
increase in network bandwidth, and have reduced distribution costs<br />
for all-around savings."</p>
<p>New Features in InstallerMaker 6.0</p>
<p>* New StuffIt(R) technology provides up to a 15% compression increase</p>
<p>* PowerPC native for increased speed and performance, cutting build<br />
times in half</p>
<p>* "Try Out Installation Dialog" item on the Packages menu allows<br />
developers to test the installation dialogs without having to build<br />
and run the installer</p>
<p>* New Find Task provides easy ability to check for the existence of<br />
items on a user's system to make run time installation decisions<br />
using Install When conditions</p>
<p>* StuffIt 5.0 archives can now be expanded in network installers</p>
<p>* Custom installer icons can be set in the Installer Finder Info Options</p>
<p>New StuffIt Technology</p>
<p>InstallerMaker 6.0 now includes a new StuffIt compression algorithm<br />
that compresses installers up to 15% tighter. Increased compression<br />
reduces Internet download times for end users, provides added space<br />
on CD-ROMs or diskettes for distribution, increases hard disk space<br />
for fewer hardware upgrade needs, and increases network bandwidth.</p>
<p>Availability and Requirements</p>
<p>StuffIt InstallerMaker is distributed electronically and is available<br />
at <a href="http://www.aladdinsys.com/developers/installermaker/index.html" title="http://www.aladdinsys.com/developers/installermaker/index.html">http://www.aladdinsys.com/developers/installermaker/index.html</a>.<br />
Version 6.0 is expected to be available for download in February<br />
1999. Current licensees can download a free upgrade of the new<br />
version. For pricing and licenses, contact Aladdin developer sales at<br />
<a href="mailto:dev.sales@aladdinsys.com">dev.sales@aladdinsys.com</a> or (831) 761-6200.</p>
<p>InstallerMaker and its installers require a Macintosh with a 68020 or<br />
better processor. InstallerMaker requires System 7.1 or higher and 8<br />
MB of RAM is recommended. Technical support is free for licensed<br />
developers and can be contacted at <a href="mailto:dev.support@aladdinsys.com">dev.support@aladdinsys.com</a> or<br />
