[G4] Re: Difference between .sit and .sitx

[Richard M. Kriss]

The icons show up fine on my machine because I just installed the new
StuffIt Standard v9.0.1. I wonder if something is compressed as a .sitx
file, will a user with the older Unstuffit be able to unStuff the file?

The enemy of 'good' is 'better' and the old Stuffit with the .sit files was
good. I am not sure about the new .sitx files.
