A sit file is a Macintosh file created with a program called “Stufit”. It is like a zip file for Macs.
Meaning it is a compressed file with a sit extension. |

Try winzip and winrar. They might do it. Really .sit is a silly format because it is not cross platform. I say that as a mac user. No reason not to use zip or rar. |

There is StuffIt for Windows, as I remember encountering a .sit file, after unzipping it, it was a .sea file, so in the end, I think I just deleted it and not bother about it. Cheers, MC |

I would use StuffIt. I didn't know it was Mac-only. I've only use a Mac for my .sit-ing, so I never knew it was a problem on Windows. So would you all suggest .zip conpression? Maybe I'll .zip files on my website instead of .sit-ing them.
(And if you really have problems with it you could send it (email or something) to me and I would un-.sit the file then .zip it and send it back. Just PM me. ...if you trust me!  )

For file compression, I use ZipGenius and usually zip files into .zip or .exe. I don't usually compress files (although I remember I used to love compressing every file and FAT partition when I was like 9 or 10 years old
 ) so I am not too good in this area.A file format for Mac only is quite useless, unless it is for storing sensitive private Mac only information.

Yeah the only free one that I know of is the Stuffit expander for windows.
That is what I use. I have to use it quite often and it works fine. Brian, yes I would suggest that you use zip for anything you you are offering on your site to the public, since that is the most cross-compatible. I don't really think that there is much difference in the compression either between the two. |
