Current Status of Unsit You can get the latest version of unsit by anonymous FTP from sipi.usc.edu (128.125.20.31) in ~pub/unsit.shar. This is version 1.5f and the program hasn't been changed since July 1990. Unsit will handle the compression methods that were used in the public domain versions of Stuffit since these were documented in the manuals that came with the program. However when Stuffit became a commercial product (Stuffit Deluxe) they started using a different file format which was never made public. If anybody could find some documentation on the newer file formats I could probably add support for them to unsit but until that information surfaces there's not much I can do. The bottom line is that unsit probably won't unstuff most of the files created in recent years by Stuffit users unless they made sure the program created an older style archive file. Allan Weber weber@sipi.usc.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsit, version 1.5 These are the souces for "unsit", a Unix program for breaking apart StuffIt archive files created on a Macintosh into separate files on the Unix system. See the documentation at the beginning of "unsit.c" or the man page "unsit.1" for more information. To build the program, compile unsit.c and updcrc.c and link together. If your system doesn't have the getopt() routine in its standard library, also compile getopt.c and include it in the link. This program opens a pipe to the "compress" program for doing the uncompression of some of the files in the archive. Most Unix sites probably already have "compress". If not, it can be found in the comp.sources.unix archives. Comments and bug reports should be send to weber@sipi.usc.edu Allan G.
