Dear Amazon.com Customer

I just received this e-mail:

We've noticed that customers who have purchased "How to Cook Everything: Simple Recipes for Great Food" by Mark Bittman also purchased books by Not Available. For this reason, you might like to know that Not Available's "Cooking New American : How to Cook the Food We Really Love to Eat" is now available .

StuffIt 9 “Choose Method by Analysis”

Beware of using this setting in DropStuff (a.k.a. --compression_method=6 with the stuff command). I found several folders that this would compress very tightly, but that couldn’t be unstuffed because StuffIt aborted with error 17999. Allume support confirmed that this compression method is “not working” and will be fixed in an upcoming maintenance update.
