Yes you should use Stuffit on your Mac...because it unpacks Packit III files! and furthermore you can see all of the files in a stuffit container and selectively extract them rather than the one at a time, read thru the first file to see the name of the next file bother in Packit (yeechhh!). So, you can unpack Packit files and stuffit files with Stuffit, plus you can pack whole directories (oops folders, that was a DOS flashback) by selecting the folder. The documentation includes the C data structures to the Stuffit format, so I would assume you could write a unix version to Unpit or unstuff to a Unix box. The Unpack option is on the menu bar about the middle of the screen.
