The only problem I've had with it is that Stuffit only notices mac files of type "SIT!". After you transfer the UNIX created .sit file to a mac, it has type "TEXT" or something similar. You have to use DiskTop or ResEdit to set the file type to "SIT!" After that Stuffit reads it. Another possibility is the mac app, MacCompress. It reads UNIX "compress"ed files. If anyone knows of a way to make an archived file on the NeXT, transfer it to a mac disk via FloppyWorks or some other such software, and have Stuffit recognize it on a mac, please let me know!!! -- ========================================================================= Joe Kaiping Phone: (217)-398-0700 ext# 172 Programmer/Typesetter FAX: (217)-398-0747 Wolfram Research, Inc. kaiping@wri.com NeXTmail accepted
