I need to find a version of StuffIt Expander that will run under OS 7.5 on my Duo 280. Anybody know where I can download that?

The expander was allways free, it was the Stuffit deluxe that also compressed files you had to pay for.

There was also a shareware version called Stuffit Lite.

I see Stuffit Lite is there too. Do you think the guys who ultimately acquired Stuffit would still let you register it since it's so old?

Can't say. I doubt that there will be any profit from doing so but a persistent deluge of thinly-disguised spam from Smith Micro, whose marketing arm is mightier than the sword. Before Smith Micro acquired Aladdin/Allume I had both StuffIt Deluxe 5 and 7 registered. Bad move.

darn, all the links are dead except the .sea files. I have no way to unzip them. I have StuffIt running on my PC, but it won't open it.

*.SEA should directly installable (self extracting archive). Make sure you downlod them direct to the Mac and not to a fat32 PC HD because it will screw them up.

If you can download to a PC and transfer by floppy (format the floppy disk for PC in the Mac first) to a Mac (the 630CD?), you can do it:

None of them are online and I have no way to put drivers, browsers and such, on them. I have never used a mac on the internet. I will try what Newtomacq610 suggests.

The link for HFVExplorer is long since dead and I cannot find another source to download it.

#14 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 - 04:21 68kMLA

Did you try googling for it at all?

http://www.fenestrated.net/~macman/stuff/HFVExplorer/ <-- Not sure which version on pkzip he used to archive the files.

I found version 3.5.1, says it will work for OS 6 or higher, just waiting for smith micro to send the email for stuffit 12. This past week I decided to use Leopard Beta(9a499) as my main OS and I forget it does not include Stuffit. As soon as I get it unpacked from .sea I will zip and send it your way.

#16 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 - 04:54 68kMLA

Ok, I got Stuffit 3, PM me your email and I can get it to you in .zip.

I snagged Stuffit deluxe 5.5 off of LEMswap a few days ago (CD).

Funkytoads problem is getting the file to the machine in a usable format.

Having ethernet on your old Macs or atleast an internet capable machine to service the others makes life so much easier.

Oh yeah.

you always could go to

http://main.system7today.com/updates.html and grab stuffit 5.5, but they don't have dropstuff with expander enhancer 5.5 which adds extra features for stuffit expander.
