A Macintosh archival compression program, similar to Stuffit but uses its own compression algorithm (.cpt) it could also create self extracting archives (.sea) and read/write .hqx and .bin files for distributing files over networks. Compact Pro for several years in the early 1990's was a serious and popular competitor to Stuffit. However it has now been discontinued and is unsupported. For further reading about this unique and historic Macintosh program, see this Wikipedia entry.
