- StuffIt Expander 3.01 is freeware and available from all the usual sources - mirrors.
- It expands StuffIt archives, Compact archives, Applelink packages, and deBinhexes
- (drop a Binhexed archive on it and it automatically expands after deBinhexing.) You'll
- still need another tool for .Z archives. I use freeware MacCompress 3.2.
