- It's probably a Stuffit Deluxe/Stuffit Lite archive; they have the same
- file type code as a Stuffit 1.5/Stuffit Classic archive, but use a
- slightly different compression scheme or something. In any event, ftp a
- copy of Stuffit Lite and replace Stuffit 1.5.1 with it (Lite will open
- 1.5.1/Classic archives)
