Stuffit is a file archive format that is popular with Macintosh computer users.
Lucky us, too, because it is by far the most popular archiving format.  IBM PC
users, on the other hand, have several file archive formats to contend with:
ARC, PKARC, ZIP, PKZIP, etc...  The list is virtually endless, with new
archiving
formats being invented almost daily, it seems.

On more than one occasion I have run across a ZIP archive that I want to unpack
on my Macintosh, but can't because I don't have any utility that decodes ZIP
archives.  Thus, this request:  I am looking for a ZIP archive utility
that runs
on Macintosh computers.  A utility that runs on VAX/VMS computers is
useful, but
not as desirable as one that runs on a Macintosh.  My only other requirement is
that the utility be able to decode a ZIP archive, not that it be able to
generate
one.

If you have or know of such a utility, please let me know.  I'll post a summary
of the responses I receive.  Thanks.
