AOL .sit files



For DOS/Windows users, here's a workaround for the weird .sit files on
AOL.  Get a copy of unstuff.exe (available on AOL compressed as
unsitins.exe) and use the -mb tag to convert your downloaded files to
MacBinary format before ever moving them into Executor.  E.g.: 

unstuff -mb somefile.sit

And you'll get somefile with a different extension.

Then start up Executor and use BinHex's Download --> Application
function to convert the file to an application and move it into
an Executor volume simultaneously.

This technique worked on my four sample .sit files.  If it fails
for you, let me know which file is the problem and I'll get back
to work on it.
