I have had issues with ZipIt and long since gave up using it.  You have to
set various options that seem to be automatic in Stuffit.  So that could be
it.

With ZipIt it is vital that you make sure it doesn't include Macs 
resources etc. when zipping.  At the end of each line in a zip 
archive you'll see two small symbols - a circle and a box.  One tells 
you whether Mac resources are included and the other whether text 
file end-of-line chars are Mac or PC.  BOTH symbols should be hollow, 
if either are solid black, then that is your problem.  Check the 
ZipIt preferences and make sure they're set such that Mac-specific 
info is not included.

If you make sure the above is OK, then ZipIT produces good zip 
archives that can be opened by PC users.

Cheers
Peter

Hi Kevin,

I used ZipIt 1.4 on the Mac, saving the file to a PC diskette. When I get time
I'll try Stuffit 6.0 on a new attempt at standalone stacks. It looks like Mac
created stacks sent through the net open fine on diverse Windows machines. I'm
encouraged. :) We want to see how the process works in reverse yet.

What program are you using to zip the program on the Mac?  The latest
version of Stuffit produces good .zip files, but I have found some other
(old) Mac zip utilities to produce files that you can't open all the time.
The other possibility is that the disk has had an error - try another disk?

Hi everyone,

My first attempt to save a Mac MC stack to windows failed. The stack had the
Win32 engine moved into it then saved then zipped to fit on a floppy. On
unzipping the file in Windows an error occurs: "An error occured while saving
file. The CRC values do not match." Anyone have any idea what this means and how
to avoid it in future attempts? Thanks.
