[ILUG] otish: making a .sit on unix

Stuffit is a commercial format from Alladin Systems, and the company
doesn't provide details on it. It does provide free windows and mac
decoders, though no free encoders.

Unless your script is on the large side, you may just want to
/binhex/ the file - i.e. the mac equivalent of uuencode. This also
take care of the dual-forking issue. Even better there's a *nix
package called macutils that has binhex encoders and decoders.

Hi all,

This is a little bit OT.  I write a perl script with a good few mac
users,
and I'd like to provide a StuffIt archive, ie. a .sit, available for
download.

Can I create one of these on unix platforms, or am I screwed due to
the
bizarre 2-fork structure of the HFS filesystem?
