Okie... basically I need to locate a little utility which can unstuff an entire folder worth of stuffit archives... that is, I have a folder full of *.sit files which I need to be able to expand without doing the old open, expand, close, open, etc, etc, etc. Anyone know it such a beast exists?

Deluxe is a bit slow, but very flexible. Downline will automatically unstuff downloaded 1.5.1 files. Downline is available from sumex in /info-mac/util. Bill (johnston@minnie.me.udel.edu)

Get the utility Downline from sumex-aim.stanford.edu by anonymous ftp. The
path is /info-mac/comm/downline.hqx.
Cheers,

Select all the archives in the Finder, and open them, holding down Shift as they launch. Stuffit will then unstuff them all in order. It's in the manual. The same trick works with Compact Pro, except instead of Shift, it's Option. Richard C.

Let me second the motion for Downline. It's terrific. It can automatically, in the background, process any .hqx, .sit or .pit file that comes your way. You don't even need to strip of the stuff preceding the real hqx stuff. Just designate a folder for Downline and direct anything you want processed into it. It checks the folder every few seconds if you tell it to. This means you can download a .sit.hqx file and within seconds it pops out fully ready, automati- cally, transparently. Or just toss in a .sit archive and wait for the transparent unstuffing. Fabulous freeware by Eric Bloodworth, Morpheus Systems.
