Aladdin Expander

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on November 17, 2008

Giving WinZip a run for its money, StuffIt Standard offers effortless file compression and encryption for any type of file. It matches WinZip in several features, including archived password protection, right-click compression, and a gallery of easy-to-use wizards. The utility also comes with a few unique features, including a robust search tool that locates files by date, type, size, and compression format. For others to decompress native StuffIt files, they'll either need the free StuffIt Expander utility or they'll be presented with a self-extracting archive, which adds to the overall file size. Fortunately, StuffIt also can compress in several other formats, including ZIP, TAR, and BinHex, though you won't get the added JPEG compression. Given its features, compression quality, and encryption options, StuffIt Standard stands up to WinZip in most areas. Digital-photo mavens may even prefer it.

Publisher's Description

From Smith Micro:

Aladdin Expander gives Windows users an easy way to expand most compressed or encoded files downloaded from online services and the Internet. Aladdin Expander 5.0 gives users access to all StuffIt (SIT) and ZIP-compressed files. (StuffIt is the standard compression utility for the Mac.) It will also expand files in UUencoded (UUE), BinHex (HQX), and MacBinary (BIN) formats, as well as other archives, such as ARC, ARJ, and GZ. Version 5.0 expands StuffIt 5.x archives (SIT), including self-extracting archives (SEA), and it decodes MacBinary III encoded files--the new format utilized by Mac OS 8.5. It offers Unicode support, which is helpful for cross-platform, multilingual file access. Expander can open ARC compressed files that contain hierarchical folders. This version supports Windows 2000 and Windows Me.
