Lots of people have pointed me to unsit1.5 in various places, and I
thank all of you.  However, there's a problem.  It doesn't seem to
work on my machine.

I've got a fairly standard System V Release 2 box.  With the addition
of an emulation for mkdir using mknod, it compiles fine, and lists the
contents of archives fine.  However, when I tried to extract a file
(a text file), unsit complained about the checksum being wrong, and
produced a file much shorter than it should have been, filled with
garbage.  Compress is in my path.  The archive was created with
Stuffit 1.5.1.  Has anyone else seen this problem?

If no one offers any solutions, all look into it, but I thought I'd
check to see if anyone else had already solved the problem.
