Now that the software is installed, you might want to refer to your User’s Guide Addendum in the "Read Us First!" folder on your hard disk. 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 printing of the User’s Guide.
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 $25 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.
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.
SAM 2.0 & StuffIt Lite
--------------------
Users attempting to run StuffIt Lite with SAM 2.0 will get erroneously get the following error message "StuffIt Lite is damaged! Check your disks immediately for a possible virus -6103/3/2". Disabling SAM 2.0 or upgrading to SAM 3.0 or later will eliminate the message. If you get this message with numbers other than "-6103/3/2" you probably have been attacked by a virus, and should run a virus checker on your machine as soon as possible.
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.
