I have already reported a bug in Stuffit 1.40A that appears when you try to
unbinhex a file, the application says that it is having disk problems (-39).
This problem is not a hardware problem from the binhex file or a hardware
problem from Stuffit 1.40A, it seems to be a software problem from Stuffit.
This made me not use stuffit until I heard from other people on the net.
I decided to test its archiving as well, and I discovered that if you try and
archive a large file/application (~18000 bytes) stuffit again gives you
the dreaded disk problem (-39).
I will now refrain from using Stuffit 1.40A and still use Stuffit 1.31 until
I hear something from someone else.
