Today, there is a Windows and Mac version of StuffIt. See here: http://www.stuffit.com/

Oh, ok, so then I CAN do it in Windows. LOL!

It's not necessarily a good idea to extract (classic) Mac software on a Windows machine. That's a good way to blow away the Resource Fork along with the File and Creator types.

Ok, that went over my head, but is that the long way of saying push the red self destruct button? LOL!

Yes, in general it's best to transfer the compressed archive to the Mac, and uncompress it there. This makes sure that all the different parts of a Mac file stay together.

Ok, got it then, just move everything compressed to the Mac and take care of it there. That was my original question anyway.

Thanx,
