Hello all --

-- Thanks for the useful advice as below. Unfortunately nothing worked. Both MacRAR and MacUnRAR said 'file header broken', latest (Classic) version of Stuffit Expander found 'Broken Header' in file. MacRAR made a sort of pseudo-folder which showed the names and sizes of 4 JPG files the archive contained, but these weren't real files which could be found or worked on.

-- Unless anyone has any more ideas, I'd better get back to the sender of the original files and ask him to re-send the files in another format. Thanks anyway --

Check this out !  It may be a Windows file which you cannot handle ! ?

Can anyone tell me how to open a 5.4 Mb .rar photo file I've
received? No luck with Stuffit Expander, Photoshop etc. TIA.

check that your version of stuffit is up to date. if still having
problems with latest OS 9 version of stuffit then try one of the
products listed here

Make sure you've got the latest version of Stuffit Expander, it
should uncompress .rar files. I'm not sure if the last version for
System 9.1 will though.
