Yes, and when you do this you will ALWAYS get an error at the beginning of
the file, right?  Have you tried using CHOPHEAD (if I remember the filename
properly) to do this?  Its a file in the AOL libraries that chops of the
custom AOL header so that you can use MAC .sit archives with the IBM version
of Stuffit Expander.  It may also be a good idea to search the IBM libraries
for Stuffit information, because if I remember correctly there was a
discussion about this a while back because the IBM version of Stuffit also
had problems with AOL files (it won't even recognize them as .SIT archives).
