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

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.

Archives created with stuffit version five or newer can't be opened by
older versions. That could be the problem. I don't know the highest
version of stuffit an LC III can run, but FreeBSD has the newest version
in the ports collection (needs linux compat. so its a big install if you
don't already have linux-base installed.)
