In my quest to get networking running, I downloaded mactcp- watcher-20.hqx. Unfortunately, I discovered that the version of Stuffit I have on the Mac (1.6) is too old to decode the enclosed SIT file.
I have spent a couple of hours trying to get a working version of stuffit that can download this file. Latest versions of Mac stuffit are way too large, since I need to download on the PC and transfer to the Mac via a single floppy. I downloaded Windows stuffit, but while it could decode the files OK, they (of course) didn't retain their creators and other attributes when moved to the Mac via PC floppy. I have found a few versions of Stuffit Lite 3.6 online, but each of these is in an hqx archive (which I can decode) containing an SIT archive (which is also too new for Stuffit 1.6). I found a copy of Stuffit Lite 3.6 online which was in MacBinary format. I really thought I had a program to decode macbinary, but I can't find it anywhere. And online sources seem to recommend using Stuffit to decode MacBinary. So what I need to find is a Stuffit Lite version that fits on a floppy and is either uncompressed, in a self-extractor, or in a format that Stuffit 1.6 can decode. Clicked on a bunch of links without finding one yet. Any recommendations on how to break out of the maze?
