Okay, so I finally got StuffIt..  Now the only problem is trying
to figure out how to use it since it doesn't come with any doc.
I've downloaded some .sit files from a local BBS. The file 
appears on the desktop as a plain old document.  I tried to 
decode it by selecting the decode BinHex (or something like that)
from the "Other" menu... it seems to work at the beginning but
it always stops with an error saying that an unexpected EOF 
appeared.  It happened to all the files I've downloaded.  What's
wrong?  Am I using the wrong command?  I tried the other commands
but they don't recognize any of the files.  BTW, I'm using
StuffIt 1.5.1.  Or do I need BinHex?  All the files have .sit as
their suffix.
