StuffIt Deluxe 8.0.2 solves Panther-ZIP file problem

The update's just out, and here's the scoop on what's new: "Version 8.0.2 includes a number of changes designed to better support Zip archives created by Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther". If a file being archived with Panther zip compression contains a resource fork and/or Finder information, those parts of the file are stored in a separate folder at the root of the archive. StuffIt will now correctly combine a data fork with its associated resource fork and Finder information as it is being expanded. In order to ensure that the connection between a data fork and its resource fork is not broken, the StuffIt Deluxe application will open any archive created by the zip compression included with Mac OS X 10.3 as a Read Only archive."
You can get the file at this MacUpdate link.

WWDC 2004: End of June

Apple's just announced the dates for WWDC 2004: June 28-July 2, 2004. We're expecting first details about 10.4 at WWDC - among (possibly) some other news. However, this is still half a year away - and we'll first focus on MWSF 2004, which will take place in early January.
