Hi.

I’ve got a Mac Performa running Mac OS 7.5.3, and I’m wondering if the version of Stuffit’s compatible with it.   I’d like to update it to 7.5.5, but it doesn’t have the have the relevant version — or the translator’s — to do so.

I’ll get me head straight, when I post to these sites; does anyone have a copy?   Preferably that’s not in the .hqx format, as my system doesn’t seem to be able to open it.

What format is the files in?

We can't send you System 7 applications that is in a format other than .hqx (or .sit) because systems typically used as web servers (Linux) strip away resource fork data.

Do you have a new MAC or a system with HFS(+) on?
Try downloading it to that system and unpack it. If you dont have a floppy disc on that machine, insert a usb drive and format it to HFS. Plug that usb drive into a linux/unix machine with a floppy drive and copy it to a HFS floppy disc.

If you dont have a usb drive you can also make a disc image out of it and use 'dd' in linux to export it to a floppy drive.

The main essential is:
Dont move a HFS binary file to a non-HFS formatted drive on the way to the mac.

The binary file will NOT work if you download it to or copy it over to a FAT/NTFS/EXT file system.
