- You need to stay current -- the most recent version of the StuffIt family
- format is 3.0, which a large number of people are using now. Downline can't
- decompress any of the StuffIt formats above 1.5.1, nor can Compact Pro.
- UnStuffIt Deluxe (currently) can only decompress archives created with any
- version of StuffIt before 3.0, and depending on which version of StuffIt
- you have (presumably 1.5.1), it won't help either.
-
- You need to get StuffIt Lite 3.0.1 (the latest version of the shareware
- StuffIt -- $25 to register, I believe; for creating SIT3 archives), or at
- the least StuffIt Expander 1.0.1 (free; for unarchiving ANY StuffIt format
- archive, Compact Pro archives, and AppleLink packages). Aladdin should be
- releasing a new version of UnStuffIt Deluxe shortly which will handle any
- specific SITD 3.0 specialties.
-
- You should be able to get these from the same source as 5-Stix (of course,
- 5-Stix is more of a demo, since until you register the shareware payment
- for it you can only play for a limited time before it quits).
