I see that you can get a version mailed to you on diskette if all else fails. See the end of the text I am quoting below. Here is some of the text from that page: Compuserve and America Online The Macintosh client software for Compuserve and AOL should be able to decode files coming from their own online libraries. Compuserve users should go to Compuserve's Mac Library (GO MACCVEN) and search for StuffIt Expander. AOL users can get Expander directly from AOL's software libraries (KEYWORD: DOWNLOAD). Search the shareware section for "Aladdin Systems StuffIt Expander" and you'll get a number of hits. Check Your Install Disks Since version 8.5, Apple has included StuffIt Expander as part of the OS install. If you have an install disk for Mac OS 8.5 or later, perform a custom installation, select "Internet Access" then select "Customized Installation..." from the pop-up menu on the right. Select only "Internet Utilities" from the list. If you have a software disk from your Internet Service Provider, check to see if they have included an installer for StuffIt Expander. Obtain a Physical Copy You can obtain StuffIt Expander from most Macintosh user groups. You may also be able to obtain it from a local Macintosh dealer. If you know an internet-savvy Mac user, see if you can obtain it from him or her. StuffIt Expander is freeware, so you can share it with friends without being penalized. We only ask that people distribute the StuffIt Expander Installer as it includes all the documentation. If all else fails, you may also email a request for a copy on disk directly from us for a small shipping and handling fee.
