Oh, my goodness. Well, I'll post this under the good faith that
Jagdeep read the Stuffit manual that accompanies the program (or
perhaps didn't get one if he got it from a friend) and messed around
with the program and just couldn't figure out what a button labelled
"Extract" would do.
Well, you double-click on the .sit file to open Stuffit with that file
open. When you are presented with the list of Mac files in the
Stuffit archive (Stuffit is an archive program), you select the files
you want by clicking on them (you can extend your selections using the
standard Macintosh selection techniques or choose "Select All" from
the Edit menu) and then pushing the "Extract" button at the bottom of
the screen. This will give you a dialog box asking you where to put
the extracted files. If you want all the files put in the same place,
you select the place and click "Save All" button. Otherwise, you can
click "Save" for each file individually, changing the destination for
each one.
