Hi, Frantisek. Google is your friend. :-)
Searching for "unstuffit" I found this page: http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/www/download_depot/download_depot-w95nt.html >From this page there are links to the FTP-server which apparently have two versions available: ftp://newftp.hartford.edu/stuffit32_50.exe Version 5.0 dated march 2000. The download is 1.4 Mb. and: ftp://newftp.hartford.edu/stuffit32_10.exe which is version 1.0 dated 1997, a download of ca. 340 Kb.
