• StuffIt Lite now uses Aladdin's InstallerMaker™ for it's installer instead of a standard SEA. This gives the user much more control over the installation process.
You can now create an archive (or Self-Extracting archive) which spans multiple disks. Begin by creating an archive as normal. Then, with the archive open within the StuffIt application, choose “Save As…” from the File menu and optionally click the “Self-Extracting” check box. Select (or insert) the disk to save the first segment onto and click “Save”. If the archive can not fit on this first destination disk, you will be prompted for additional disks until the archive is completely saved.
• Small Icon Preference
A new preference has been added which will cause StuffIt to display the small icon (including color ones) for any item instead of generic ones. The small icons that StuffIt uses are the same ones that the Finder displays.
• Compression Updating
When copying or moving a file from an older archive into a 3.0 archive, you will be given the option of having the file recompressed using the powerful 3.0 compression method to save more space. Remember that you must be registered to open more than one archive.
• Support For System 7.1 And WorldScript
StuffIt now supports improved handling of non-roman based languages, including asian (Japanese, Chinese, etc.) text. Inline input of asian languages is now supported. Version 3.0.3 also provides better handling of all international characters within file names.
• New Apple Events For Automating StuffIt

A revised Userland Frontier 2.0 install file including updated DocServer text, is available to help you with these new events.
