Home Office Computing Magazine Salutes Aladdin Systems

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 15 /PRNewswire/ --

Home Office Computing, the technology and productivity magazine for today's work-at-home workforce has named Aladdin Systems, Inc.'s StuffIt(TM) for Windows(R), the most powerful, easy-to-use Zip utility ever, one of the 100 best home office products of 2000.

StuffIt for Windows won a HOC 100 Silver award in ceremonies held at the Comdex trade show in Las Vegas Tuesday. It was one of only three winners in the category of utility software. This year marks the 3rd annual award ceremony with winner selection based on value, performance, ease of use, innovation, and suitability for home offices.

"Two out of three new businesses begin at home, and almost 20 million Americans today are at least part-time telecommuters. That makes home offices a hotter market than ever before," says Home Office Computing editor in chief Eric Grevstad. "We're pleased to salute StuffIt because it helps home-based workers succeed -- instead of being aimed at corporate computing centers or family consumers, it's just right for today's work-at-home workforce."

"StuffIt gives users maximum choice for compression formats, beats zip compression by up to 20%, and is the best compression utility that supports both PCs and Macs, as well as international files," said Marty McGillivray, Director of Product Management at Aladdin. "As more people leverage the Internet to send and receive files, we are thrilled to have the industry acknowledge StuffIt as the superior compression standard for file compression."
