Stupid company - Version: 9.0, 2/26/2007 09:46AM PST

Centromedia (Centromedia.Com)

We switched from Mac to Win and all our archives from MacOS 7 are in stuffit. Now, I need only the expander and i've to register and subscribe to their mailinglist and install the trial standard edition. Incredible stupid. They have lost us for ever, and we never will use again closed formats for archiving. Actually using 7zip.
To bypass their subscription d/l it from http://www.stuffit.com/downloads/std-downloadv.html

PS: obviously i've tried also the expander... it's an app that seems made in the early 90's. horrible and slow user interface.

bait-and-switch marketing. - Version: 9.0, 8/30/2006 11:14AM PST

Website made it impossible to download the freeware version of the program without also downloading the upgrade, purchasable version as well. That's called bait-and-switch marketing, and it's quite unscrupulous and annoying. Shan't be using this product.

Works ok for .sit files but not for gz (Mac/Unix .zip) - Version: 9.0, 2/21/2006 09:41AM PST

MacHound

I've been using StuffIt on Mac since its earliest days and I can definitely confirm this program has seen its ups and downs. Over the past two years the Mac version has stiff competition from Apple's "Create Archive" option which utilizes Unix's gzip engine to create .zip archives. Unfortunately these Mac .zip files don't open with typical Windows UnZip tools. StuffIt Expander 9.0 for Windows claims to open gz archives but it doesn't deliver on the promise -- at least not for me. It unceremoniously quits every time with a "Engine Error:Internal Error" message.

Does anybody know of a Windows UnZip tool that opens Mac/Unix gz (.zip) files? Thanks.
