For those who have MacPerl: Power and Ease, both Suntar (2.1.4) and Stuffit
Expander (DropStuff w/EE 4.0) are on the CD, as is MacGzip (1.1.2).  Not
Tarmac; maybe next time.

DropStuff w/EE is shareware; you don't need to spend anything to install it
or try it out, only if you plan to keep it and use it regularly (the
standard shareware deal). It will work if you haven't paid for it but it
will continue to harass you regularly :-)  However, as with any shareware,
you can try it to see if it meets your needs.

My recommendation is to buy StuffIt Deluxe if you plan to do compression /
decompression very often or to unpack many types of archives. StuffIt Delux
does _everything_ :-).
