- Or, if you're a college student like I am and can't afford Stuffit Deluxe,
- try Downline, available on sumex. It will let you specify a folder for
- operations on. Then, you move the files into the folder, and they will be
- stuffed. It also works the other way -- I use it when I'm downloading. It
- watches the folder that I download to, and when it senses a binhexed file
- there, it will debinhex it and unstuff it.
-
- It can't handle any format other than Stuffit 1.5.1, though.
