I am curious as to where Stuffit Expander would reside on my Mac Powerbook 145. I finally got the file I needed onto a disk from my PC, using TransMac. It had an .sit extension. When I got it onto the Mac, I double-clicked it to see what would happen, and it expanded; restored the original icon and everything. So I guess I must have Stuffit Expander (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) on the Mac SOMEWHERE, but I can't find it anywhere...it's driving me nuts. > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > From: "Symbol Representative" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 14:04:11 -0500 > Subject: Re: Stuffit > > If possible, could you elaborate on this myseriously powerful self-extracting macBinary app? Do you recall the name? I've never heard of such a thing and would like to see it--could come in handy sometime...
