Sorry if this has been brought up, but what exactly is a *.cpt file? I believe I read somewhere that the .cpt extension refers to a program known as Compacter. I've looked around mac.archive.umich.edu in the mac/utilities/compressionapps, but I can't seem to find it. Does anybody know where it is at umich, or at another ftp site? Any help would be appreciated. Again, my apologies if this has been brought up before... Later...

You're correct. .cpt are Compactor files. You need Extractor or Compactor to get them out. Extractor is a free utility capable of 'uncompressing' both Compactor and Stuffit files. I've been using it for some time now and it's pretty straight forward to use. The only problem I've had is that Gatekeeper doesn't like it (surprise surprise) but them again Gatekeeper doesn't like a lot of things including Macintalk so I don't think it's a big deal. You should be able to get extractor from most ftp sites, probably under utilities or some such directory. dave
