???

> The sit program was originally written in 1988 and posted to Usenet's comp.sources.mac newsgroup by Tom Bereiter. The program assumed that it was running on a Unix system where each input file either had no resource information at all, or was split into 3 binary files named with .data, .rsrc, and .info extensions.

O :)

Only 30 years late for me to discover lol

I love these "rediscoveries" of old code. Often I struggle to comprehend a lot of modern code, and while these older tools can be a little terse they are normally simple enough that I can reason about and modify the code.

Sometimes I wonder if it's due to the older code being produced with the mentality of "Look here something I hacked together, it sort of works." and people where happy about it because it was better than nothing, and you felt no right to demand anything of the author. If you wanted something changed the social contract was that you'd be the one to do the work, even if it meant learning e.g. C, not learning to open an entitled issue on Github.

Aladin did make a commercial linux version of StuffIt Expander. It was free to use to expand, but to create archives it needed a registration code iirc.

Edit: found it http://web.archive.org/web/20060205025441/http://www.stuffit...
