<I'll condense the thread to, "Stuffit under Aladdin/Magic Sac">
  Stuffit has run fine on the Magic Sac for some time. We discovered
that you need Finder 5.3/5.4 and System 3.2, as well as >256K RAM
space (e.g., 512K or 832K Magic Sac option) to make it work, which rules
it out for 512K machine owners (520 ST). Packit has none of these limits,
so it's more compatible with more Magic Sacs.
  I've heard several rumours that the Aladdin is now shareware, the authors
have moved on, etc. I'd appreciate it if you could fill me in on the details,
since this is the only service I subscribe to that jumps the "lake" with
such frequency.
  Thus, in summary, you don't need to do resource moves to make Stuffit run
under Magic Sac; just use the proper System and Finder. (By the way, if
you have a version of Magic Sac that's < 5.91, it may have a problem running
those Systems and Finders -- best upgrade).
