MACWORLD READERS LAUD ALADDIN SYSTEMS' FAMILY OF COMPRESSION & ARCHIVING
PRODUCTS

Watsonville, CA (July 26, 1993) -- Aladdin Systems today announced that its
StuffIt series of compression and archiving products were awarded the
prestigious Macworld magazine 1993 World-Class Award. The World-Class
Awards recognize the top Macintosh hardware, software, and peripherals as
chosen by Macworld readers. Aladdin's StuffIt series, which consists of
StuffIt Deluxe, StuffIt SpaceSaver, StuffIt Expander and StuffIt Lite, won
in the Backup/Storage Utility category.

"The World-Class Awards are unique in the Macintosh market because they are
based on Macintosh users' opinions. This year we worked even harder to get
their opinions, not just on which products they liked, but also on how
satisfied they were with them," said Adrian Mello, editor-in-chief of
Macworld magazine.

THE STUFFIT FAMILY:

STUFFIT DELUXE, Aladdin's flagship product, is the complete compression
solution offering compression, archiving, translation and security
capabilities in one easy-to-use package. With StuffIt Deluxe, users
"stuff" files into documents called archives. These archives assist in
saving disk space, speeding modem or network file transfers, and making
backups easier. The program also supports a wide variety of compression
formats allowing for translation to and from other Macintosh, DOS and UNIX
formats. StuffIt is the international standard and accepted method of file
compression and archiving on all major online services. StuffIt Deluxe
comes with StuffIt SpaceSaver, Aladdin's transparent compression product.
Suggested retail price of StuffIt Deluxe is $120.

STUFFIT SPACESAVER is both an automatic and on-command data compression
program for the Macintosh. SpaceSaver increases hard disk capacity by
compressing any file or folder an average of 50%. SpaceSaver lets users
compress or decompress files by keyword, label or placement in
appropriately named folders. SpaceSaver's Idle Time Compression(tm)
feature automatically compresses any file that hasn't been modified for a
specified length of time. The program also includes Magic Menu, an
extension that creates a Finder menu of compression options. With a retail
price of $59.95, StuffIt SpaceSaver is a low-cost solution for those who
need to maximize disk space.

STUFFIT LITE is the original compression, archiving and security product
for the Macintosh. This shareware product is offered by the company for a
fee of $25.

STUFFIT EXPANDER is Aladdin's widely accepted freeware program which
decompresses the three most popular Macintosh archives: StuffIt, Compact
Pro, and AppleLink, in addition to decoding BinHex files.

Founded in 1988, Aladdin Systems, Inc., is credited with creating the
compression standard for applications and communications for the Macintosh
platform. Aladdin recently brought its technology to the DOS market with
the introduction of UnStuff/PC.

Aladdin is one of the few remaining pioneers committed to the shareware and
freeware philosophy of software distribution and marketing. Their
commitment has helped garner them over 600,000 users worldwide. In
addition, over 700 software developers such as Microsoft, Claris and Apple
have licensed their space saving and installer technology.
