Donna Pointer-- iMac, ergo iAm
My apologies. I had read a few years ago that the procedure I mentioned was the way to do it, but I have not personally tried that. The responder here is suggesting an obviously more thorough method. Please let the list know how this all worked out and what finally enabled you to get stuffit expander on to your computer. I have access to a PC tomorrow. I will see if I can find a version of Stuffit Expander to download to a PC diskette there. I am really curious now. >> No. If you try to decode anything on that PC you will mess up the data forks >> so it cannot be read on the Mac. > This is incorrect--not everything decoded on a PC will become unreadable on a > mac--but worse, it inexplicably assumes that the very specific suggestion it > is responding to was made from a standpoint of ignorance. One of the reasons > HFV Explorer exists is that it keeps the data and resource forks intact and > allows a PC to transfer mac files and volumes. Further, the suggestion to use > a self-expanding archive ignores the fact that to transfer an .sea file from a > PC the person would need to leave the data/resource forks intact--using HFV > Explorer or TransMac, of course!
