Compacting Utilities



Here are some compacting and de-compacting utilities for you to use when downloading files...

Stuffit Expander 3.5.2
Description The essential utility for de-BinHexing and decompressing all of those .SIT and .HQX files out there. This is a link to the binary version, which (sensibly) doesn't assume that you already have the ability to extract .HQX files.
Type Freeware

Locations
1 : ftp://ftp.aladdinsys.com/pub/StuffIt_Expander_3.5.2.bin
2 : ftp://forum.swarthmore.edu/software/workshops/mac/StuffIt.Expander.bin
Notes You must already have a tool to unencode a Mac Binary or a Bin Hex file in order to download this version of Stuffit Expander. For more information on this subject go to : http://www.aladdinsys.com/obstufex.htm
You may also directly obtain this file by using an FTP program that has built in binary support such as Fetch or Anarchie.

DropStuff with Expander Enhancer 3.5.2
Description DropStuff with Expander Enhancer offers Apple Macintosh users the ability to easily create StuffIt archives by simply dragging and dropping a file or folder icon onto the DropStuff icon. When used together with StuffIt Expander, users are also able to expand every leading Macintosh, PC, and Internet compression format including StuffIt (.sit), Compact Pro (.cpt), AppleLink (.pkg), ZIP (.zip), ARC (.arc), gzip (.gz), Unix Compress (.Z), UUencode (.uu), BinHex (.hqx), and MacBinary (.bin).
Type Shareware $30

Notes Very nice utility to have on your desktop.

Suntar 2.0.5
Description The ".tar" is a Unix-based compression format, and stands for "tape archive." It is the only format on this list that DropStuff/Expander does not handle. suntar is a freeware utility written by Sauro and Gabriele Speranza that will compress and expand .tar archives. It's an excellent program, but not one for the faint of heart, since it relies very heavily on a Unix-like console interface. If you can get past the interface, it's a powerful program with some very nice features, not the least of which is the ability to encode and decode MacBinary, BinHex, and uu files. The learning curve is steep, though, so pack a lunch.

Notes The expander enhancer that comes along with this shareware will decode almost all formats that you will run in to on the internet, except maybe the .tar extension.
