Here is a Disk Copy 4.2 image of an original floppy disk distributed by Aladdin Systems (see screenshot). The disk contains DropStuff 4.0 installer, StuffIt Expander 4.01 and StuffIt Expander for Windows. Worth archiving an original disk I think.

Compatibility: 

StuffIt Expander runs on SSW 6.x and later. The DropStuff application requires SSW 7.0 or newer (gets "Requires Apple Events. Upgrade to Mac OS 7.0 or later" error alert). In SSW 6 you cannot drag an archive to the Expander icon to extract, you have to navigate to the archive via the Expander's "Open" file menu.

DropStuff 3.5's main addition to StuffIt 3.0 was that, in Mac OS 7.1 or later, you can drag any amount of files and folders in the Finder onto the icon for DropStuff or an alias to it instead of having to use the standard dialog and DropStuff will create the archive with the files dropped onto it's icon. With the introduction of this feature, it was also the first version that was named "DropStuff".

Compatibility: 

DropStuff will only run on Mac OS 7.0 or later because, for some reason, it HAS TO keep checking for AppleEvents regardless of whether the system software it is running on supports AppleEvents or not. However, the "Expander Enhancer" bundled with DropStuff that the equivalent version of StuffIt Expander can also expand .zip, .arc, .gzip, .z, .pkg, .uu, and StuffIt SpaceSaver archives with, for StuffIt Expander 3.5, will work on System Software 6.

Allume Systems StuffIt Deluxe 10 for Mac OS X.
This version features Allume’s vaunted JPEG compression technology and other new features.

System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.3 to 10.5.8

The new JPEG compression technology — a key reason why Smith Micro acquired Allume from its previous owner, IMSI — shrinks JPEG images and photos up to 30 percent with no loss in image quality, according to the developer. StuffIt Deluxe 10 also lets users view thumbnails for archived JPEG images without requiring them to decompress the archive.

This is a MacOS port of "tar" (tape archive), a common file-packing format used on Unix machines. This program reads and writes tar format archives. It has been tested against tar running on A/UX (3.0), 4.3 BSD and the GNU tar program (POSIX compatible). Floppies and tapes can be exchanged with other systems (on Unix, use raw devices).

Compatibility: 

PowerPC users should use the first link, 68k users the second.
