How Can I Open A *.sit File
tar.Bz2 is very fast and high compression arcive format, possibly best. Free and open-source.
7zip is the best cross-platform, free opensource program for archive handling in my humble opinion.
Comercially backed standards like .Zip .Rar and .Doc are obsoloeted now by opensource standards but unfortunately many people at home and in the industry still promote ancient methods as far as software is concerened because it's familiar ground that the capatalist standard authorities propigate. When in retrospect, and this goes deep into protocols and system architechture as well, it would be in both the professionals and home users best interests to use standards that don't get broken everytime the version changes to promote the purchase of the initiating companies latest product update.
just so you know :)
