Wow willy3g, why are you posting on a 7 year old thread? Here's what the deal was, yes, he needed stuffit expander but what happened is he could not download stuffit expander without stuffit expander to extract the file to install it... he was caught in one of those chicken and egg nightmares. He needed the stuffit's installer in either raw form or a self-extracting archive because to open a non self-extracting archive he needed stuffit expander. At the time this thread was happening the geniuses who created stuffit expander assumed that you already had a version to open it with but that was no the case in older operating systems such as OS8 which he was using. I'd hope by now that he has gotten an updated mac.

what os are you usin? Os 9 should have stuffit expander installed, if not these are available on the CD, Os X should also have it, and if not you can download it from the link below, it is a disk image, so you should be able to open it and install it with Os X, then you can open your files.

this version (Stuffit Lite) is absolutely free.
