Gotta problem here...

I downloaded somefiles from wsmr-simtel20.army.mil
and I guess they're supposed to be stuffit files
But they have been saved as a TEXT filetype and so
Stuffit won't accept them.

PLUS.  When I do change the Creator and FileTypes onthe
files Stuffit still crys when I try to open them as a
Stuffit archive. 

I've used Symantic tools to look inside the files and
it SEEMS that all I need to do is delete the first
100 or so bytes of the file and Stuffit might accept them.

Imparetive on the word SEEMS. Since I don't have a true
byte editor or sector editor I can't edit the file
as I wish.

So the questions are:   	1. Am I on the right track?
				2. If so where can I find such an editor?

if anyone from wsmr-simtel20.army.mil is looking please
let me know what is recommended.
Any other help is of course, WELCOME.
