What do I need to do here? SIT! files are created by StuffIt, which is an archive utility. Just get StuffIt (from a friend, anonymous ftp from the info-mac archives at sumex-aim.stanford.edu in /info-mac/util) and double-click at the file or open it from inside StuffIt. No need to use BinHex, since there is an option in StuffIt called "decode binhexed file" which will do the work for you. -- Stefan Lindmark Email: d88-sli@nada.kth.se Snail-mail: Don't even bother...
