     I tried to attach  "Self-UnStuffer" codes into a new (empty) archive
   file of StuffIt Classic 1.6

     Then GateKeeper refuses it. I checked all check boxes of GateKeeper
   Priviledge control for StuffIt Class in vain.
     Only when I turned off the GateKeeper with "Override" button, I can
   get Self-Unstuffing archive.

     Is there anyone who has the same problem?

Unfortunately, this is true of all self-extracting archives, and it's my main
complaint against making such archives a standard download format.  To work
around it, you have three options: (1) Override GateKeeper while uncompacting
the archive, (2) grant res(file) privelages to the archive itself, or (3) if
you have a copy of UnstuffIt Classic or UnstuffIt Deluxe, open the archive
with one of those, instead of by double-clicking it.

								Enjoy! :-)
