- Readme for Stuff and Hex
- -----------------------
-
- This application REQUIRES the Stuffit Engine™ which is part of the
- Stuffit Deluxe™ Stuffit SpaceSaver™ and SITcomm™ packages.
-
- This application is just a quick (15 minute) hack that I did for my
- own use and then cleaned up a little for distribution. The purpose
- of the application is to first compress and then binhex files for
- electronic distribution. It is intended to be used as a drag and
- drop application. You can use it to choose files, but not folders,
- from the 'File' menu.
-
- After I had written this it turned out that Drop*Stuff (also part of
- Stuffit Deluxe™ package) also does this (I always use Magic Menu
- rather than Drop*Stuff). I decided to go ahead and distribute it
- because lots of people have the Stuffit Engine as part of Stuffit
- SpaceSaver™ and SITcomm™, but don't have Drop*Stuff.
-
- There are no settings but you can modify the behavior of the
- application by holding down keys when launching it. Just like
- Stuffit Expander, if you hold down the Shift key you will be prompted
- for an alternative destination for the file. If you hold down the
- Option key the intermediary Stuffit archive will be deleted, leaving
- just the binhex file.
-
- Most of this application is based on 'Drop Shell'. I have enclosed
- the readme for that package.
