- Yes, and when you do this you will ALWAYS get an error at the beginning of
- the file, right? Have you tried using CHOPHEAD (if I remember the filename
- properly) to do this? Its a file in the AOL libraries that chops of the
- custom AOL header so that you can use MAC .sit archives with the IBM version
- of Stuffit Expander. It may also be a good idea to search the IBM libraries
- for Stuffit information, because if I remember correctly there was a
- discussion about this a while back because the IBM version of Stuffit also
- had problems with AOL files (it won't even recognize them as .SIT archives).
