Stuffit Assistance!

This is really more fit for the "Just Tech" forum, but last time I tried this there, I got next to nothing in terms of feedback. I just need someone to do me a quick favor: I need the Stuffit Engine 6.5 or later (preferably 6.5.1) file e-mailed to me unstuffed as soon as possible. I've lost a bunch of files by accident, and all I have is the Stuffit Engine 6.0 with Stuffit Expander and DropStuff 6.5.1 - the engine version is too old to function with my versions of Stuffit, and I can't even open .sit download files at the moment. I tried re-downloading the entire Stuffit 6.5.1 bundle (including the engine), but as I figured, I couldn't even open the blasted download file. :frown: If someone wouldn't mind just e-mailing me the Stuffit Engine version 6.5 or later to me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I just sent you one from my computer. Let me know if it works.

I have always wondered why they don't make those download archives self-extracting...

------------------

Nevermind...Mac.com has a 5 meg e-mail limit.

I posted it in the public folder of my iDisk (name: Farpoint).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

No problem. Have you got a link?

In MacOS 9, Open Chooser. Choose "Select IP Address." In the box that comes up, type 'idisk.mac.com'. That will bring up a username/pass field. Username is farpoint, password is public.

In Mac OS X 10.1, choose Connect To Server from the Finder's Go menu and type 'http://idisk.mac.com/farpoint/Public'. There shouldn't be any password required here.

Let me know if it works.

(EDIT) I believe that there are also some EVMP/3D shots in my public folder. Feel free to play around with them. 😉

You could also e-mail it to him as a self-extracting archive. 🙂

Thanks! I'll try that once I'm on the correct computer.

I tried. .Mac's e-mail size limit is a few bytes to small...

Wow...I don't remember that stuff being that large...
All well. I'll stop posting here now, as I can't send it to him. 🙂

I found this on the aladdin website:

A: Internet Explorer has a built-in BinHex (.hqx) decoder. Follow these steps:

  1. Launch Internet Explorer
  2. Go to the Edit Menu and choose Preferences. The Preferences window will appear.
  3. In the list on the left of the Preferences window, click "Download Options" which is under the heading: "Receiving Files".
  4. In the area on the right of the Preferences window, the last check box at the bottom says: "Automatically decode BinHex files". Click that box so it has a check mark in it.
  5. Click the OK button on the bottom right of the Preferences window.
  6. Now, using Internet Explorer, go to our StuffIt Expander download page and be sure to download the BinHex (.hqx) version.
  7. The file that downloads should be the StuffIt Expander installer. When the download has completed, double-click the file and it will walk you through the installation of StuffIt Expander.

just use the bin hex

That worked. Thanks man, I really appreciate the help! /Recommends karma point.

I checked out your screenshots also. Pretty sweet. 😄

ThorPrime: I couldn't seem to find a bin hex download file at Aladdin's site that was available for OS X... Just 8.1 - 9. Oh well, everything is working fine now, so don't worry about it.

Thanks all!
