Metrowerks Develops StuffIt Utility Class and Bundles Aladdin's StuffIt Engine SDK With New CodeWarrior Professional 1 CDSan Jose, CA--May 13, 1997--Metrowerks(r) Inc. developer of the award-winning CodeWarrior(r) programming tools and Aladdin Systems, Inc. developer of the worldwide Macintosh compression and installation standard StuffIt(tm), announced today their collaboration of bundling the StuffIt Engine Software Developer Kit (SDK) on the CodeWarrior Professsional 1 Mac(r) OS CD. "Metrowerks is pleased to include Aladdin Systems' award-winning StuffIt Engine SDK as part of the regular CodeWarrior subscription," said GregGalanos, president and chief technology officer of Metrowerks. "Now developers can easily integrate the StuffIt Engine into their C++/PowerPlant-based applications and gain immediate access to file compression for StuffIt archives as well as file decompression from a variety of other formats. We've gone one step further by including a StuffIt utility class we developed for PowerPlant that wraps the StuffIt Engine API into a single C++ object, thereby simplifying use of the StuffIt Engine while maintaining its flexibility and power. This will be especially useful for developers working with Internet classes." "Aladdin Systems is elated that Metrowerks has incorporated and expanded on the StuffIt Engine API for C++/PowerPlant-based applications," said Darryl Lovato, chief technology officer of Aladdin. "By creating the new StuffIt class, Metrowerks has made it even easier for developers to incorporate the StuffIt standard compression/decompression into their applications. Now small developers can incorporate the same 'StuffIt' support that larger companies, such as America Online, Claris, and others have done. We look forward to seeing the innovative ways developers will incorporate the StuffIt technology into their software."
