Aladdin Systems, Inc. Announces the Acquisition of Award-Winning Utility, ShrinkWrapAladdin Systems Acquires Shareware Utility For Creating And Using Disk Image FilesWatsonville, CA (November 13, 1996) -- Aladdin Systems, Inc., developer of the worldwide Macintosh compression and installation standards, StuffIt(tm) and StuffIt InstallerMaker(tm), has acquired ShrinkWrap(tm) from developer, Chad Magendanz. Aladdin will continue to work closely with Magendanz and will release new versions of ShrinkWrap in early 1997. ShrinkWrap was developed to create disk image files quickly and efficiently. ShrinkWrap provides a convenient and reliable means of mounting disk image files on the desktop, seamlessly handles disk image files in their archived form, and provides a freely distributable alternative to other disk copying methods. "The success of ShrinkWrap has been phenomenal," said Chad Magendanz, developer of ShrinkWrap. "Aladdin and I understand the symbiotic relationship our products share. That's why Aladdin is the perfect organization to give ShrinkWrap the attention it needs to fully achieve its potential. Aladdin's great success in bringing shareware products to the mass market made it the obvious choice for taking ShrinkWrap to the next level." Why Use ShrinkWrap? "ShrinkWrap has always been associated with StuffIt products in one form or another and they compliment each other nicely. Together they form a powerful utility package greater than the individual components. ShrinkWrap is the next piece in the software distribution puzzle," said Darryl Lovato, Vice President and General Manager, Developer Technologies. "It is a natural progression for Aladdin and its customers to be able to have a complete solution from one company. Our developer users will be pleased to see improved integration between InstallerMaker and ShrinkWrap in future versions." Availability and Requirements ShrinkWrap requires System 7.0 or later, is accelerated for Power Macintosh users, and makes extensive use of AppleEvent objects and a custom AppleEvent suite.
