I own a Mac LC III running System 7.1 and a PC running FreeBSD,  I use
floppys to copy software that I've downloaded from the BSD machine to
the Mac.  Some stuffit archives work, but others don't.  Stuffit
Expander doesn't throw up any alert boxes saying there was an error, it
simply exits without expanding the archive.  I usually use hfsutils on
my unix box to write the files to an hfs formatted floppy, but have also
tried using MS-DOS formatted diskettes and PC Exchange, but no luck.
Are the files themselves corrupt or does this have something to do with
their lack of resource fork.
