This installer will install an evaluation copy of StuffIt Lite 3.6, a $30 shareware compression product from Aladdin Systems, Inc. This installer can also update a registered copy StuffIt Lite 3.5 to version 3.6. DO NOT remove your older StuffIt software before you run this installer! If you are updating StuffIt Lite 3.5, please read the section below entitled "Updating StuffIt Lite 3.5". If you are upgrading please read the sections below regarding updating from StuffIt, StuffIt 1.5.1, StuffIt Classic, or StuffIt Lite.
"Read Us First!" Folder
After installation, please review the documents in the "Read Us First!" folder, located in the "StuffIt Lite Folder", 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.
The User’s Guide
Even though the software is easy to use, the comprehensive User’s Guide covers every feature of the software. The User’s Guide is located in the StuffIt Lite Folder on your hard drive.
Thanks
We at Aladdin Systems would like to thank you for using StuffIt Lite and supporting shareware.
The Rest of this Document
Listed below are sections on possible conflicts and workarounds followed by updating and upgrading information.
Versions of Adobe Type Reunion earlier than 1.0.2 will cause StuffIt Lite to quit unexpectedly. 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 archive. Therefore we recommend that users of System 6 start up their computers with MultiFinder turned on.
DO NOT REMOVE your registered copy of StuffIt Lite 3.5 before running this installer. This will allow the installer to 'seek out' your StuffIt Lite 3.5 registration number and automatically install a fully registered copy of StuffIt Lite 3.6. This free update will only update _registered_ copies of StuffIt Lite 3.5.
Note: The StuffIt Lite installer will not remove or delete files from a previous installation of StuffIt Lite 3.5 UNLESS you choose to install StuffIt Lite 3.6 in the SAME folder as 3.5. Any file with the same name and location will get updated, including Translators which are located in the Extensions folder/Aladdin folder/Translators folder.
Using StuffIt Lite 3.6 constitutes a ‘to be paid for’ upgrade ($15) for registered StuffIt Lite 3.0.x owners. Your old registration number will not work with StuffIt Lite 3.6. If you wish to install an _unregistered_ version of StuffIt Lite 3.6, simply run the StuffIt Lite 3.6 Installer.
Note: The StuffIt Lite installer will not remove or delete files from a previous installation of StuffIt Lite 3.0->3.0.7 UNLESS you choose to install StuffIt Lite 3.6 in the SAME folder as StuffIt Lite 3.0->3.0.7. Any file with the same name and location will get updated, including Translators which are located in the Extensions folder/ Aladdin folder/ Translators folder.
Upgrading StuffIt, StuffIt 1.5.1 or StuffIt Classic (prior to version 3.0)
Using StuffIt Lite 3.6 constitutes a ‘to be paid for’ upgrade ($15) for registered users of StuffIt Classic and versions of StuffIt prior to the 3.0.x series. Your old registration number will not work with StuffIt Lite 3.6.
Note: The StuffIt Lite installer will not remove or delete files from a previous installation of StuffIt, StuffIt 1.5.1, or StuffIt Classic UNLESS you choose to install StuffIt Lite 3.6 in the SAME folder as your old StuffIt product. Any file with the same name and location will get updated.
If you wish to continue using StuffIt Classic, there are no further steps required. If you wish to entirely replace StuffIt Classic with an _unregistered_ version of StuffIt Lite 3.6, there are several items that need to be moved. Once installed, read the "StuffIt Lite Read Me" for additional instructions. The "StuffIt Lite Read Me" will be located in the "Read Us First!" folder in the "StuffIt Lite Folder".
