ALADDIN SHIPS STUFFIT FOR LINUX AND SOLARIS
EXPANDING ITS STUFFIT COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY

Watsonville, CA - July 9, 2001- Providing a universal compression 
solution for all computing platforms and file types, Aladdin Systems, 
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Aladdin Systems Holdings, Inc. 
(OTC BB: ALHI), today shipped its award winning compression software, 
StuffIt(tm) for  Linux and Sun's Solaris operating systems, making 
StuffIt available on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris platforms.

"Aladdin understands that computer users don't want to worry about 
their compression tool and whether or not their recipient will be 
able to access their email attachment," said David Polzine, StuffIt 
Linux/Unix product manager. "With StuffIt, users know they can 
compress and access files no matter what platform is being used. One 
tool, one global solution: StuffIt!"

StuffIt is the industry leader in cross-platform multi-format file 
compression. Wherever there is a need for compressing large files 
into smaller archives, whether to fit them on removable media, 
posting them to a web site, or sending them via email, or storing 
them on a server, StuffIt is the single source solution. StuffIt 
gives users the power to expand and access any files they receive, 
whether downloading files from the Internet or receiving files via 
email. All versions of StuffIt come with Aladdin's free expansion 
software: StuffIt Expander.

"StuffIt for Linux is great!" said a StuffIt for Linux beta tester. 
"We've been looking for a tool to help us dynamically manage files 
submitted by users on a wide range of platforms and this is it!"

Supported Formats:  StuffIt for Linux and Solaris can be used to 
create Zip, StuffIt, Binhex, MacBinary, Uuencode, Unix Compress, 
self-extracting archives for Windows or Macintosh platforms and it 
can be used to expand all of the above plus bzip files, gzip, arj, 
lha, rar, BtoAtext and Mime.

Supported Platforms: In addition to the Solaris and Linux products 
released today, StuffIt is available for Windows and Macintosh 
environments.

workstation or as an administrators tool, costs $29.95. For quotes on
