Archive may be damaged - Version: 4.0.0, 3/22/2005 07:06PM PST

I, too, cannot open the downloaded archive. I do have Stuffit Deluxe 9.0.1 and the associated expander. The error message says the archive may be damaged and gives error # 17537.

Would love to use this software, but it's no good if I can't open it! Help!

This archive fails to fully unstuff with an internal error, even after downloading it two times. If you try to use the app anyway, an error comes up stating that the database cannot be used. Heads up developer!

I can't believe this is free. It is a very powerful program, either (and perhaps especially) for the scientific person, or for hobbyists like me who forego some of the biological nitty gritty but want to keep a bird list and have good searching and reporting features. Keeps improving too. And if I grow in my scientific interest in birding, then my list will be in a program will all the data and features I will need for that.
