Hi Mark,
I found a UNIX utility somewhere that lets you create .sit files.
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!!!
