I've returned every new version of Stuffit Deluxe since 6.5. That's the last version that could read binary extracts (binhex and MIME) from newsgroups. When I report the problem after ever test, they tell me it's not a supported format currently but they'll consider it for a future version.
Been saying that since V7. I've not even bothered with 9.0. Unless a file can be decompressed with 6.5, I tell the author to use ZIP or gzip or some non-proprietary format. Those that won't I walk away from. Did Aladdin die or just morph into Allume? I wonder if all the good engineers left months ago. The QC department seems to have been outsourced.

Click to expand.The following is from Dr. Lau's web site; apparently, this has not been updated since year 2000. The first version of StuffIt was written by Raymond Lau in 1987. It was made available as shareware on the major online services during the summer of 1987. By the end of 1987, the StuffIt file format had become an accepted standard on CompuServe, GEnie and Delphi, then the dominant online services.
It has remained an online standard to this date. Raymond has been an active participant in the engineering of the product for all versions up to and including StuffIt Deluxe 3.5 released October, 1994. Version 4.0 and later still contain the same core code, but Lau ceased to be actively involved in the development of the product as of January 1995. Click to expand.Things seem to be working for me. I uploaded three files: - PDF converted via StuffIt to HQX uploaded with HogWasher using HQX encoding - PDF as is uploaded with HogWasher using HQX encoding - PDF as is uploaded with UUencoding All downloaded again fine.
Perhaps the download worked because HogWasher interpreted correctly?/QUOTE My 3MB file contains an intermix of MIME and UU encoded binary images. Stuffit Deluxe 6.5 could correctly parse this format and produced the images. Every version of Stuffit Deluxe since then can't. I posted to their support forums about it and was told it's not a form they currently support.
So, I've returned every version since 6.5 for a refund with very verbal feedback. Apparently product marketing isn't interested in fixing this problem.
No one has gotten back to me about what needs to be done to fix it. I've stayed with 6.5 ever since. Some of the old MacOS 9 tools work as well in Classic. I wonder if their marketing people still have their heads in a very dark place.
