Stuffit 9 under 10.3.8 can't decompress the binhex archive, it seems, complaining of an "internal error".

As a layman I had downloaded all theses satellite images, The good ones had a extension of .HDF. Once I downloaded this program, A double click on the file opened it up to a Mac friendly window and I could view the images. It come with a manual that is great (separate download) and emailing the developer get you helpfull responses. A lot of satellite images were free on the web (even in CDrom orders) which come in HDF format. I wonder what happened to the mac photoshop Plugin for importing HDF files, its another developer. There are not many Mac stuff in this area and gis anymore and what their was is no longer updated or supported even if you could get it.
I successfully decompressed this version (3.19.2005) using Stuffit Expander 7.0.3 (the one pre-installed with OS X 10.3). I've yet to find a reason to upgrade from Expander 7.0.3.
However... there were a couple problems with the included files, apparently caused by a developer still living in the OS 9 world. :o)
"MultiSpec Description" has no filename extension, which gives it a generic icon and no association with any application. Anyway, it appears to be a MS Word document. Opening it with TextEdit works.
"MultiSpecCarb3.19.05" also has no filename extension, thus it is represented with a generic document icon as well. This appears to be the application itself. I simply added ".app" to the filename and it now has the correct icon and launches ok under OS X 10.3.8.
The new 3.30.2005 version corrects the problem with the application file. Alas, the description file still has no filename extension. I suppose ".doc" would be appropriate. Better yet, provide a .rtf or a .pdf file. Also, there is no reason to encode an .sitx file with binhex (.hqx) as .sitx files do not contain a resource fork. The binhex encoding adds about 200Kb to the file size.
