There is also a unix version of Stuffit 1.5.1, also based on unix compress. These are available on sumex-aim.stanford.edu and mirrors in /info-mac/util and /info-mac/unix, respectively. In this case, a better option is public zip from the Info-ZIP project which is consistently more efficient than unix compress. There are currently 3 freeware options for UnZIP-ing on the Mac side. On sumex-aim.stanford.edu in /info-mac/util: zippop.hqx unzip-101.hqx unzip-42.hqx Public ZIP is available on valeria.cs.ucla.edu in /info-zip. Last time I checked, there was a beta version of MacZIP which looks like a nice effort, but might benefit on the user-interface side from some experienced Mac beta testers. -- Bill (johnston@me.udel.edu)
