What the SIT! released

[eric]

A common question with new vintage Macintosh users is "why cant I unstuff this .sit file!" - I've started a resource to help users determine what type of file they have and some options on what they can do (or cant do) with that file.

I call in "What the SIT!":

If you love broken .sit files you can show your love with @Mac84 ".sit happens" shirt - https://shop.mac84.net/products/sit-happens

That's super handy. The 'What Now?' steps are a nice touch too.

Do you plan to have it support any other formats like .hqx?

 

[eric]

Likely will expand it, and have ideas for actually doing some cool stuff to integrate files directly into BlueSCSI with it. My constant crusade to make vintage macs a bit easier for newbies.

 

[Elemenoh]

That's a noble crusade. We get used to the quirky nature of this stuff, but it can be daunting to someone new to the hobby. Nice work!

I genuinely love this sort of project.

Well done, Eric!

Replying to say that this was super helpful when dealing with Stuffit files from the Macintosh Garden / Repository and wondering why Stuffit 4.x couldn't expand them. I had no idea there was a breaking change in the compression code in version 5.
