I have retrieved a number of *.sit files
(eg flextc.sit, bisontc.sit, kermitnnnn.sit)
from the net.
These appear to be uuencode'd --
at any rate they uudecode without problem.
But I haven't discovered how to return them to StuffIt format.
I retrieved Macbinary from macbinary.hqx ,
and have tried this on the .sit files.
While it converts them to files with the StuffIt logo,
StuffIt 1.5.1 and Stuffit Classic
both report that the files are bad.
(They have 'bad headers'.)

Could some kind soul please e-mail me the solution
to this doubtless elementary conundrum.
