I like this program as well. In fact I've set my terminal program
(zterm, which is also great) to download text files with type SITx.
This way I just double click on the file and stuffit-expander does the
rest.

I also have seen this. The files were only un-binhexed were always
sea's or a file for which I had another decompression utility. Almost
as if sit-ex didn't want to step on anyone's toes...
