how do i open a sit file?

[larns23]

i'v got a 'sit' file i really need to unpack, is there a free piece of software which can do this? thanks

The program that handles SIT files is called StuffIt. Contrary to accepted belief, Stuffit is not just for the Mac. Windows users who need to open SIT files can easily download a StuffIt Expander utility (http://www.stuffit.com/win/expander/index.html) (for free). I would like to note that if you install this program in Windows, answer the installers questions carefully. Most importantly, do not let StuffIt claim the extension ZIP as it will interfere with WindowsXP built in handling of ZIP archives as shown above.

Windows users need to be aware that not all Mac files they open will be usable. In many cases, though, it is just a matter of adding the correct filename extension.

Thanks.
