I recently copied version 1.2 of stuffit from SUMEX. However the file is in stuffit format (type SIT). Since I do not have any version of stuffit I cannot unpack that file. Can someone tell me of an archive on the internet (arpa, milnet, etc) which contains a version of stuffit in packit format or unpacked format?.

Speaking of StuffIt, the time seems right for a new version which includes
a public key encription scheme and a utility to generate keys. I could then
generate a pair of keys, use StuffIt to compress, encript; then binhex it
and upload it, listing the decoding key in the message header.
With this method, anyone can decript what I upload, but no one can modify
my posting and upload it again. (because they can't reencript the message.)
This is what is sometimes known as a digital signature. This would provide
some relief against nasty people who like to put viruses in uploaded
programs. (Not perfect protection, but still pretty good, don't you think?)

Here Here!! I love StuffIt. It's a wonderful program. However, I feel that its inability to save subdirectory information is its greatest shortcoming (least longcoming??).

How can you forget the author's name?! It's plastered all over the program! :-) Seriously, though, I'd like to second that vote for saving subdirectory info. I realize that technically, it's complicated, but it is worth doing. StuffIt is great. Besides, it's written in LightspeedC, so how bad can it be?! ;-) Rich

Could anybody enlighten me on what "StuffIt" does? Further more, how can I get a copy of it?
) (05/23/88)
Not too long ago, someone posted asking about Stuffit: what it was, and where to get it. Well, Stuffit is a *very* nice file compression/archiving utility. It is virtually the standard for both bulletin board files and files sent over the USENET. It is a shareware utility, but is free for dearchiving/decompressing only. The author is Ray Lau. You should be able to get it from almost any mac bbs. The current version, I believe, is 1.40A. If all else fails, I could send you a BINHEX'ed copy. You do have BINHEX? Rich

Is the latest version of StuffIt available over UseNet? If Mr. Lau is out there, what is the latest version and would you be willing to distribute it over the net?

A version of StuffIt marked 2.0 has been uploaded to some BBSs and public on-line services. This is NOT a valid copy of StuffIt. It may be a trojan horse or other form of nasty. The latest version of StuffIt, which is available by ftp from nearly everywhere, and can be found on most any BBS, is StuffIt 1.5.1. DO NOT DISTRIBUTE any other version at this time.

Can anybody tell me how to use the program StuffIt. I want to convert some public domain software from ASCII files into Mac files. I got the files into ".sit" type files but cannot figure out how to convert those files into usable mac applications. Any instructions and hints would be most welcomed. Thanks!
hoffman@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (08/28/89)
Let's see, it's been a while but I think you do something like this: 1) Select the downloaded .sit file from some open option from the FILE menu. 2) You can then select the button off the bottom of the window that un-stuffs. It's pretty straight forward, but I might be using a more recient version (1.5.1) Steve ___________________________________________________________________ | Steve M.

Well, I'll post this under the good faith that Jagdeep read the Stuffit manual that accompanies the program (or perhaps didn't get one if he got it from a friend) and messed around with the program and just couldn't figure out what a button labelled "Extract" would do. Well, you double-click on the .sit file to open Stuffit with that file open. When you are presented with the list of Mac files in the Stuffit archive (Stuffit is an archive program), you select the files you want by clicking on them (you can extend your selections using the standard Macintosh selection techniques or choose "Select All" from the Edit menu) and then pushing the "Extract" button at the bottom of the screen. This will give you a dialog box asking you where to put the extracted files. If you want all the files put in the same place, you select the place and click "Save All" button. Otherwise, you can click "Save" for each file individually, changing the destination for each one. -- Jeffrey A.

Actually, you can double click on a StuffIt archive to open it
and StuffIt. But what you didn't mention is that the button
on the bottom of the window which creates an unstuffed file
is called "Extract."

Okay, so I finally got StuffIt.. Now the only problem is trying to figure out how to use it since it doesn't come with any doc. I've downloaded some .sit files from a local BBS. The file appears on the desktop as a plain old document. I tried to decode it by selecting the decode BinHex (or something like that) from the "Other" menu... it seems to work at the beginning but it always stops with an error saying that an unexpected EOF appeared. It happened to all the files I've downloaded. What's wrong? Am I using the wrong command? I tried the other commands but they don't recognize any of the files. BTW, I'm using StuffIt 1.5.1. Or do I need BinHex? All the files have .sit as their suffix. Yan Or c9a-ai@dorothy.Berkeley.EDU c60b-dr@buddy.Berkeley.EDU

Now the only problem is trying >to figure out how to use it since it doesn't come with any doc. the files that end with .sit need to be un stuffed with "open archive" in the file menu. Files that are binhex end with a .hqx.
duqu@tank.uchicago.edu (walter bismarck duque de estrada) (03/29/90)
Open the .hqx file with your favorite word processor. Notice if at the beginning there is some legible text; eliminate anything that is legible (look at the end of the file too) Save the file back as text only. Then tr using decode binhex on it. If the file is sit you should be opening the Stuffit file from the file menu. If it is a .pit file then use the Unpack file option. Hopefully this is helpful.
