more people come here then the tech forum so.....

a client sent me some files that have been compressed with StuffIt or something. they are .sit files and I can't open them.

I didn't find anything that was free to download and works on a pc with WinXP. I could probably pay for a product but of course, I'm the only one at work and don't have the authority to use the credit card.....


suggestions?

Err, StuffIt has a Windows shareware version...

But that'd be too obvious, huh?

I'll look into it. I had just gotten into work and had other stuff to do so I didn't have a lot of time to devote to this problem. and being a non-mac user, stuffIt is foreign to me.....

thanks!

No problem.

Hey man what you do anyway?

 

[pnj]

what do I do?

I work for a tv station and we do educational streaming video. I work with the web side of stuff, html/graphics/little bit of ASP and a whole lot of slacking....

our clients are educational based, we host and deliver streaming media.

I asked because I'm a screen-printer, and am CONSTANTLY trying to open
art files from customers. It was so much easier BITD, when you just "handed"
art to someone.

This is supposed to convert .sit files to a .zip, give it a try.

um that is the last thing i would do. change a compressed file to a different compression while its still compressed. F-that
just get the free stufit decompresser. geez

Yep, you're needlessly complicating things, and are more likely to corrupt the file than just uncompressing it with the free Stuffit expander above.

Mac compression utility... like Winzip. Its called Stuffit(.com).

Well, he asked for something free and works on a PC, which Stuff-it does work on Windows, but it's not free. I was under the impression he wanted something that would work long-term for .sit files, not just this one. Use whatever you like, I was just offering a suggestion.

yep, I didn't want to pay for anything. and I wanted it NOW!!!

it's cool when clients send you files that won't work on your computer.

photoshop docs that you don't have the fonts for and other great stuff.
we don't use macs here, we are a windows media place. microsoft is a partner....we use windows dot net for apps. it's all microsoft stuff.
