I say you're off by at least 5 years. Look closer to 2003. The fact that some people keep using it out of habit doesn't make it any less obsolete.

If I might (pardon my ignorance), what are the alternatives for UNSTUFFING .sit archives? -- JJW > In article > <droleary.usenet-400CB1.09261001052007@sn-ip.vsrv-sjc.supernews.net>, [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > If I might (pardon my ignorance), what are the alternatives for > UNSTUFFING .sit archives? Why, there are no alternatives. That's sort of the point - the Stuffit file format is proprietary and requires the vendor's software to extract. That's why a lot of people are not creating new .sit files and instead using less risky formats like zip.

The answer to that would be not creating the stupid things in the first place. > Why, there are no alternatives.

With the availability of high-speed internet it's all rather irrelevant anyway - nearly every bit of software I download is packaged in dmg format these days (which suits me just fine). Cheers, Andy.

The people doing the downloading don't have much say in this, except to not patronize vendors who use it.

My alternative is to use command-delete to compress them further, or just not bother downloading them if I notice it first. I even ran across a developer the other day <http://www.gradekeeper.com/> who is so set in their ways that they actually expect me to bother with a .hqx download!

And then having the archive open with Tex-Edit.... A. > I say you're off by at least 5 years. Look closer to 2003.

Um, as long as I continue to come across some .sit archive somewhere that's of value to me, I'll continue to need Stuffit Expander occasionally.
