Hi!
I THINK what you may be referring to would be the practice of clicking on a file or folder in the Finder, and then changing the file name simply by adding ".sit" to the end, which I think you are recalling had the effect of immediately compressing the file or folder into a corresponding Stuffit archive which would be smaller than the original.
I am vague on exactly how this might have worked. I don't think it was just a normal feature of the Finder, but rather it might have been something that required you first to install some third party software, possibly a Stuffit product of some sort.
Under OS X, the more or less equivalent thing is to click on the File or Folder in the Finder and then select the "Create Archive of ..." command in the FInder. This produces a ZIP archive.
Hope this helps.

In the past I have changed the size of a file, just by clicking on the file icon and then there was something I could go to to change it. These were either jpg or pdf files (or both) but I can't remember how to do it. Anyone? Anyone?
