I use it all the time, especially for > exactly what you want to do, create folders on the fly from within > Stuffit. MUCH BETTER SOLUTION Use DDExpand or DDExpandInit. It can unstuff .sit files and what's more, by default it puts the new stuff in a folder of its own (so that you never get the 'readme' files mixed up) These are free programs, provided by the people who make diskdoubler (Salient software) as a sort of inducement to buy their product (which is in competition with Stuffit Deluxe). I am fairly certain that they are on SUMEX, since I got them from c.s.m.binaries a few weeks ago. *====*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===*===* Phil Ryan ANU Department of Physics and Theoretical Physics Canberra, Australia pfr654@csc.anu.oz.au phone:(61 6) 249 4678 fax:(61 6) 249 0741
