Meaning it is a compressed file with a sit extension. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Try winzip and winrar. They might do it. Really .sit is a silly format because it is not cross platform. I say that as a mac user. No reason not to use zip or rar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No reason not to use zip or rar. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is StuffIt for Windows, as I remember encountering a .sit file, after unzipping it, it was a .sea file, so in the end, I think I just deleted it and not bother about it.

Brian1405241474 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2005 I would use StuffIt. I didn't know it was Mac-only. I've only use a Mac for my .sit-ing, so I never knew it was a problem on Windows. So would you all suggest .zip conpression? Maybe I'll .zip files on my website instead of .sit-ing them. (And if you really have problems with it you could send it (email or something) to me and I would un-.sit the file then .zip it and send it back. Just PM me. ...if you trust me! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FirefoxRocks 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2006 For file compression, I use ZipGenius and usually zip files into .zip or .exe. I don't usually compress files (although I remember I used to love compressing every file and FAT partition when I was like 9 or 10 years old ) so I am not too good in this area.A file format for Mac only is quite useless, unless it is for storing sensitive private Mac only information.

foolakadugie 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 Yeah the only free one that I know of is the Stuffit expander for windows.That is what I use. I have to use it quite often and it works fine.Brian, yes I would suggest that you use zip for anything you you are offering on your site to the public, since that is the most cross-compatible. I don't really think that there is much difference in the compression either between the two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 simply putHow Can I Open A *.sit Filetar.Bz2 is very fast and high compression arcive format, possibly best. Free and open-source. 7zip is the best cross-platform, free opensource program for archive handling in my humble opinion. Comercially backed standards like .Zip .Rar and .Doc are obsoloeted now by opensource standards but unfortunately many people at home and in the industry still promote ancient methods as far as software is concerened because it's familiar ground that the capatalist standard authorities propigate. When in retrospect, and this goes deep into protocols and system architechture as well, it would be in both the professionals and home users best interests to use standards that don't get broken everytime the version changes to promote the purchase of the initiating companies latest product update. just so you know -reply by gknifemonkey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockershive 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2009 There are lots of file system or formats. I encountered some of them and appeared weird, especially if its not a known file formats. My saviour is a small program archiver. This is called Power Archiver, everything related to file formats is in there and this will solve your problem.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 10, 2010 This thread is bit old now. What is the answer in 2010?How Can I Open A *.sit Fileif you visit stuffit's website youget the option to buy the deluxe version, or to buy something you don't want from a voucher site in order to qualify for a free copy of deluxe, and finally to just download the free version. The final free version doesn't arrive, so I'm dubious about the 'spend $50 at Blockbuster for a free copy'. The trust has gone so I wouldn't buy it.-reply by keith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
