A while back, I came across a program to read macbinary files and packit
format files on the IIe and the GS..the authors said that they did not include
Stuffit format because it was new
Sometime later, Stuffit has more/less become the standard in the macintosh
world and Im looking into finding a packer that can unstuff macintosh files
for use with the Apple GS <macpaint pictures or binary sound files and that>
If there is no such program written for the apple II like (IIe or GS) I'd like
to find out more information on the stuffit algorithim and how to contact the
authors..I was given a usenet address, but I havent been able to find
dasys1.UUCP as of yet
Thank You

What would also be useful is the algorithm for PreStuffing. Most sound files from macs are compressed in this form, and StuffIt alone would be worthless (unless Pre- is built in.) Ken.

Sounds like a worthy cause. I, for one, would definitely appreciate such a packer. Sound and graphics files are easily transported from the Mac to the GS.... if we could unpack 'em with a Stuffit GS, we could download 'em and they'd be all ours (heh!). Good luck!

I have seen a C unstuffit program that runs on Unix - perhaps it wouldnt be
too tough to port it to a GS. But I dont know about to the other machines,
unless someone wants to translate the program into assembler <phew>!
