- Guys - the problem is that Stuffit software is stupid and wants your
- preferences file - you have probably run the software before and created a
- preference file on a different disk. Stuffit tends to be annoying and not
- want to create a new file. However, if you continually hit cancel (Command-.)
- enough times it should ask you if you would like to create a new preferences
- file somewhere. Make sure you have no floppies in, and create a preferences
- file on the same drive where you run stuffit from. This should eliminate the
- problem.
