Stuffit + MacInTax should work in 1.3 (cross your fingers)



Dear Folks,

StuffIt uses an undocumented trap to do some of its  
compresssion/decompression.  In addition, there's a seperate bug  
related to "working directories" that prevents StuffIt from going  
under Executor 1.2.1.

I've figured out the undocumented trap and we now support it.  Since  
that was the major obstacle to getting Stuffit working, I'll go back  
and work on the minor obstacle.  I don't anticipate sufficient  
problems to prevent Stuffit from running under 1.3 (it may already  
run "in the lab", I haven't checked recently).

MacInTax was working "in the lab" before Executor 1.2.1 was  
finalized, but I think it broke due to some changes in the way files  
that begin with two HEX digits are handled.  We won't have time to do  
much testing of it, but I believe MacInTax will run under 1.3 as  
well.
