In essence, StuffIt Deluxe 5.1.5 allows users of Mac OS 9 to regain full use of StuffIt Deluxe for free. StuffIt Deluxe 5.1.5 requires System 7.5.3 or greater and 15 MB of disk space, and is a 4.3 MB download. 1.5.1 archives (and ONLY those) are readable by every later version of StuffIt.Aladdin Systems last week released a free upgrade to StuffIt Deluxe 5.1.5, making the company’s long-standing compression and archiving package compatible with Mac OS 9. We would all do our vintage Mac community a big favor if permanently hereafter we could all just use Compact Pro (.cpt) archives or, if StuffIt absolutely must be used, please please please follow ’s as-always great advice and check that little “1.5.1 archive” box when saving the StuffIt archive for posterity. They couldn’t even be bothered to add a magic number or something or just change the damn file type for the love of Pete when they changed the archive format to a non-backward-compatible thing. Basically every version after that is horrible bloatware that turned into an explosion of sometimes-randomly-incompatible versions and tools and apps and system extensions with far too many features and an absurdly overcomplicated UI that felt like someone just wanted to show off their knowledge of random chapters of Inside Macintosh (a floating palette? really?). Sorry no substantive help here but clearly it’s time to repeat my periodic anti-StuffIt rant I have been repeating since about 1992: I mostly find it annoying, but effective. After which they can be copied from my 9.x machine's HFS Extended partition to HFS standard formatted floppies or zip disks and sent over to the older machine as is.Īttempts to archive by other means such as MacZip and then send over to the old machine either meet with similar results or crashes extracting the might not have the option of something like the above 9.x->disks->7.x ringamorole, but someone might find that useful. sit files I've tried to load work fine, only a handful have exhibited this behavior and those that do have been vary consistent about it.Įxtracting the same archives under MacOS 9.2.2 and its bundled StuffIt (I believe, Expander 6.0) seems to work fine. Even a bigger file like MacAmp2 of MR, will just putter about unstuffing a few hundred files and spontaneously finish with almost nothing extracted. I've tried both Mac and DOS floppies, not that StuffIt should care. Seems consistent across 7.5.0 and 7.5.5, my Duo 230 and BasilliskII on various systems. Like extracting a readme file but not the application image kind of partial extraction. Like the virtual-cd-dvd-ute-10d3.sit off Macintosh Garden or tattletech-284.sit off Macintosh Repository. sit files attempting to extract on 7.5.x with StuffIt Expander 5.5 /w and w/o DropStuff only extracts some files. Looking before I post about practically the same thing, I guess I should add my curiosity to this thread for what value it may be.įor some.
