I checked all check boxes of GateKeeper Priviledge control for StuffIt Class in vain. Only when I turned off the GateKeeper with "Override" button, I can get Self-Unstuffing archive. Is there anyone who has the same problem? -- ========================================================================== Masato Ogawa Sony corp. ogawa@sm.sony.co.jp Tokyo, Japan ========================================================================== Unfortunately, this is true of all self-extracting archives, and it's my main complaint against making such archives a standard download format. To work around it, you have three options: (1) Override GateKeeper while uncompacting the archive, (2) grant res(file) privelages to the archive itself, or (3) if you have a copy of UnstuffIt Classic or UnstuffIt Deluxe, open the archive with one of those, instead of by double-clicking it.
