Hmm...  This is very odd.  Have a look in

System Folder:Extensions:Aladdin:Translators:

You should see a translator called `AppleSingle Translator'.  If you've
got that, Stuffit Lite should be able to decode the file you've got (I
forgot that these translators are bolt-on goodies, rather than built in
to the application).

If you've *not* got that translator, I've clearly picked up a translator
from some other Aladdin product from somewhere (maybe an earlier version
of Stuffit Lite?  Maybe somewhere else - I can't account for this in any
useful way).

If you've not got that translator, I could email you a copy.  This is
probably breaking copyright if it's not a freely distributable thing.
