I have a problem with Stuffit 1.40A.
I unbinhexed all the utilities and documents and all went fine with no
errors or warnings.
I have not used it to unarchive a Stuffit 1.31 document but unstuffit 1.40 did
it successfuly.
My problem is the following...
I use Stuffit regularly to Decode Binhex files downloaded from NEWS.  I had no
problems with Stuffit 1.31, but Stuffit 1.40A said that it was having disk
problems (-39), and it could not decode the binhex file.
I used Binhex 5.0 to decode the binhex file, no problems...
I used Stuffit 1.31 to decode the binhex file, no problems...
I used Stuffit 1.40A to decode the binhex file, no way...
Ironically, I am using the binhex file for Stuffit 1.40A as the testing
document, but it does not matter what file I try to decode from binhex,
Binhex 5.0 and Stuffit 1.31 will decode them, but Stuffit 1.40A won't.
I assume that there is something wrong with the application itself, but could
someone else try it and see if this is true.
I can only assume that the binhex file for Stuffit 1.40A is not corrupted since
it was decoded without a word of complaint.
Hope to hear from you.
