On my Quadra 800, I have Stuffit Expander 5.5 installed, and am attempting to decompress files downloaded from Macintosh Garden. It works on some files, but many of the files begin extracting only to stop after the first file. Stuffit Expander then just quits with no error code, nothing. Anyone else have this problem?

Mac Garden may have stuffed it using a newer Stuff-It.

Try un-stuffing it on a newer mac computer.

I've heard that stuffit 4 compressed files do not work with stuffit 5, so you will need stuffit 4 for them. Maybe that is why it isn't working.
