- SIT files CAN be downloaded. There is a program called "unstuff/pc". It
- decompresses SIT files into MacBinary files. This will allow you to get the
- files into your HFV files correctly. Also, stuffit SEA files can be
- downloaded, with a little bit more difficulty. Just hex-edit the first four
- bytes of the file to "SIT!". Unstuff/pc will then recognize the file. Also,
- the StuffIt Expander program will work with the hex-edited file, but it will
- complain about how the file is "corrupted" (not because of your hex-editing,
- but because of AOL). StuffIt Expander will still decompress the file
- correctly.
