Note: I posted this message and the program described about three weeks ago but it appears neither of them made it to the net. So here it is again. Apologies if you did get it and this is a duplicate. I have posted to comp.sources.mac the sources for version 1.5 of program "unsit" that runs on a Unix system for breaking up a Macintosh Stuffit file into separate files. Unsit extracts the files from the ".sit" file into files compatible for downloading with MacTerminal and "macput". Version 1.5 of unsit is differs from previous postings of the program in that it supports the "Hierarchial Maintained Folder" option of Stuffit that preserves the directory structure of the files. At first glance, this may sound like a relatively useless program since you can always download the ".sit" file and break it up on the Mac. However, I've found it to be a big help when dealing with the Mac postings. Also, if you have ever had to upload a large number of files from the Mac to Unix, this is the program for you. Use Stuffit to put all the files in a single archive, upload it, and then break it apart with "unsit". The primary method of compression for Stuffit is the same as that used by the Unix program "compress". Unsit will only work if the compress program is on the system since it uncompresses the file by opening a pipe to the program and passing the data through compress and into the output file. If you don't have "compress" on your system, it can be obtained from the comp.unix.sources archives.
