Hello Hexafuzz,

thanks for responding,

I've found the time to try some things, but without succes.

When I drag the .sit file over the Stuffit Expander file, nothing
happens. The only way I can unpack a file, is start the Stuffit expander
program, then a in the top of the screen File apears and there I can
select files that can be unpacked. Unfortunately the .sit files don't
appear in this screen.

My Macingtosh is 7.0.1 and doesn't respond to the PC exchange program. I
assume that it runs under 7.1. Is there a simple way to update the Mac
without deleting everything?
