 What is compression? [ Learn About... ]

Files on the Internet, whether they are shareware, fonts, or plug-ins, are stored in a compressed format to save disk space and downloading time. In order to read or use the files on your computer, you need a decompression program to decompress the files. The Advantage software for Macintosh includes Stuffit Expander, which will handle this. Windows Advantage members will have to download a program called WinZip.
