Stuffit/Compression Programs
Hello,
Just a quick question, I don't have stuffit for my macbook. I need a compression program that is free of charge. I don't want trail version! An evaluation version is fine, but I would like to know if there is a free one. Once again, a compression program for mac OSX10.4 and above.
Let me know thanks.

P.S. I don't want stuffit Expander. It doesn't compress!

MacOS X's built-in archiving function uses Zip compression. You don't need additional software to compress files. If you are like most users, however, you will have to deal with files that you did not create. It may be possible to get along without Stuffit Expander, but only if you refuse to ever open .sit or .sitx archives. CleanArchiver 2.3.1 is an alternative frontend to the Stuffit Engine. The Unarchiver 1.6 supports Zip, Tar-gzip, tar-bzip2, rar, 7-zip, LHa, and StuffIt among its archive types. However, nothing on the Mac supports more archive formats than Stuffit.
If you are backing stuff up, using a compressed disk image is quite good because you can just mount it to see the contents and copy what you need.
