SIT files are compressed archives like Zip files on the PC. Sound
Designer cannot do anything with SIT files, the contents must be
uncompressed first with Stuffit Expander.

How are you trying to open your SIT files with Stuffit Expander?

From the group file section:

Using StuffIt Expander

There are several ways to decode a compressed or encoded file with
StuffIt Expander. Try the following:

    * Double-click the icon of the file. On many systems, StuffIt
Expander will launch and decode the file.

    * Using your mouse, click and hold the icon of the file, then drag
it over the icon of StuffIt Expander. When StuffIt Expander's icon
darkens, release the mouse button. StuffIt Expander will open and
decode the file, and then quit.

    * Double-click StuffIt Expander's icon, and wait for it to open.
From the File menu, select Expand, and in the window that appears,
find the file you want to decode. StuffIt Expander will then decode
the file.

    * With StuffIt Expander open, from the Window menu, select Drag
Window. To expand your file, drag it into the Expander window that opens.

Once StuffIt Expander has finished, it usually places the decoded file
in the same folder as the original version. However, if none of the
above options work, your file may be corrupt.

PS: You do not need MacDisk with SIT files. With PC Exchange on your
Mac (also in the group files) your Mac can read DOS formatted floppy
disks.
