Why use Public Folder with 7.0 at all?

Just take the old folder called "Public" and share it using 7.0's built-in  
sharing. You can control the security level instead of having the files be  
wide open for anyone to pick-off. If you want, allow anyone to access the  
folder, or make sub-folders that have specific access privilidges for  
those special users.

Public Folder was a hack from Claris that they won't support.

Yup.  But...  There are things like user interface etc. involved, so you
will have multiple compressors.  Also compression technology gets better,
so newer methods will get better compression and you must not discard that.
To wit, a sample I have:

Archivers:
archive		size	packing	time	unpacking time
pit		613504	14.15		 9.00		PackIt
sit		446080	 4.30		 7.00		StuffIt 1.5.1
cpt		317696	 7.30		 3.30		Compact Pro
zma		305408	15.00		 3.15		Zoom

Would you have wanted to stay with PackIt?  (Zoom is an archiver in testing
that will come out one of these days, fairly zoo compatible.  And I am not
the writer.)

Look at macunpack, available from quite a few sites, written by me.  While
it does *not* document the way Compact Pro compresses files, it *does*
document the way to decompress the stuff (and of course those DiskDoubler
archives that use Compact Pro's compression scheme).  The US patent office
is a bit unclear about whether compression methods can be patented,
decompression is again a different thing.

That's the beauty of File Sharing compared to Public Folder; it uses

The program SoundEdit is able to convert SoundEdit files into snd resources.
SoundEdit used to come with MacRecorders (I'm not sure what comes with them
now.)

Other than that program, I don't know of any converters.

I guess the original poster just complained about the unavailability
of the universal uncompressor. Everyone will accept the superior
technology if it has a better performance and *ease of use*. You may
be happy with million of uncompressors for each archive format on your
desktop, but I am not. 

If people don't use the superior archive scheme due to the lack of the 
easy way for uncompression, this archive scheme will die. That's all.

(For the new Stuffit, Aladdin provided the Stuffit Extractor, and it
is very handy. It can uncompress all the stuffit format and compactor
format. )

The original poster asked about the algorithm, not the program. I also

uncompacter, and the source is available.

On the other side of the coin there's the Design Your Own Home

it's much less than $695, and less than $150 and doesn't require

    What I recommend is that you make an effort to find the last couple
of months of MacWEEK magazines. There was a very good review of OCR
software, as welll as a couple of articles on scanners. If you want my
recommendation, I would suggest you look into the new HP Scanjet IIp and
OmniPage Direct. They were basically made for each other, and OmniPage
is consistently the top OCR software for the mac.
