I have posted an updated set of Translator modules for StuffIt Deluxe 
to replace /info-mac/util/stuffit-translators.hqx in the sumex archives.  
Translator modules take advantage of the open architecture of the
new StuffIts; just drop them in your Translators folder and they
show up as new options in the "Other" menu when you work with the
"Expert" mode.  The UUcode and Tar Modules should be of interest 
to unix people ...

These should appear "soon" in comp.binaries.mac as well as the archives.
For the impatient, I am willing to send a few copies by e-mail.

It includes three new modules, and documentation in TeachText format:

UUCode Translator                 --     Leonard Rosenthol
TAR Translator                    --     Ray Lau
AppleLink Package Translator      --     Terry Teague

btoa/atob Translator              --     Ray Lau
MacBinary (BinHex 5) Translator   --     Ray Lau
DD Translator                     --     Darryl Lovato
(the DD Translator uses the DDexpand init, also available on sumex) 

The Translator modules will work with StuffIt Classic -- eventually.
Classic v.1.6 had a minor bug that prevented translators with 
hierarchical menus from working; a fix will be released soon.
Also included in the package is a compiled version of a sample 
translator that will be distributed with "Inside StuffIt", a developer's
toolkit that will allow users to write their own StuffIt modules.

Thanks to Leonard Rosenthol (leonardr@sv.portal.com) who forwarded 
the translators for posting.
