StuffIt
StuffIt is a family of computer software utilities for archiving and compressing files. Originally produced for the Macintosh, versions for Microsoft Windows, Linux (x86), and Sun Solaris were later created. The proprietary compression format used by the StuffIt utilities is also termed StuffIt.
Overview
StuffIt was originally developed in the summer of 1987 by Raymond Lau, who was then a student at Stuyvesant High School in New York City. It combined the fork-combining capabilities of utilities such as MacBinary with newer compression algorithms similar to those used in ZIP. Compared to existing utilities on the Mac, notably PackIt, StuffIt offered "one step" operation and higher compression ratios. By the fall of 1987 StuffIt had largely replaced PackIt in the Mac world, with many software sites even going so far as to convert existing PackIt archives to save more space.
StuffIt soon became very popular and Aladdin Systems was formed to market it (the last shareware release by Lau was version 1.5.1). They split the product line in two, offering StuffIt Classic in shareware and StuffIt Deluxe as a commercial package. Deluxe added a variety of additional functions, including additional compression methods and integration into the Mac Finder to allow files to be compressed from a "Magic Menu" without opening StuffIt itself.

Here For You
by: Steve HottHow many times can I say it
I don't know why you don't think we can make it
If we just talk it out in a time when there's doubt
I know everything will fall into place
Every bridge that we cross isn't easy
Every line that we draw we don't mean it
When we say it in anger we fall into danger
You're not hearing what I'm trying to say
CHORUS
You know I'll always be here for you
No matter what we've both been going through
If we take a different route we can work it out
Cause we both have so much to lose
You know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
I'd put out the fires in hell it's true
I'll leave no stone unturned, won't let you get burned
And I'll prove, that I'll always be here for you
All of the trials that we're facing
If we don't give up hope then we've made it
Every wall that we climb we get stronger inside
Can't you hear what I'm trying to say
CHORUS
You know I'll always be here for you
No matter what we've both been going through
If we take a different route we can work it out
Cause we both have so much to lose
You know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
I'd put out the fires in hell it's true
I'll leave no stone unturned, won't let you get burned
And I'll prove, that I'll always be here for you
And if it all should fall apart
Don't forget who we are
Cause we can build it back
Right from the start
CHORUS
You know I'll always be here for you
No matter what we've both been going through
If we take a different route we can work it out
Cause we both have so much to lose
You know I'll always be here for you
No matter what we've both been going through
If we take a different route we can work it out
Cause we both have so much to lose
You know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
I'd put out the fires in hell it's true
I'll leave no stone unturned, won't let you get burned
And I'll prove, that I'll always be here for you
Yes I'll always be here for you
Yeaaahh
