There is a stray 'rts' in the ShoveIt source I recently posted to
comp.sources.mac.  The effect is that if you have the misfortune of
trying to make a stuffit archive containing a file which shouldn't
be compressed (e.g. because it's compressed already), your mac will
crash.  To remove the stray rts, either execute the MPW command:

          File shoveit.a; cut 399:399

or equivalently remove the 'rts' line in the following sequence in shoveit.a:

	  add.l loglen,opb+ioLEOF(a6)
	  lea opb(a6),a0
	  _SetEof
	  bne write_err
-->>	rts
	endif#
	move.l loglen,d0
@ret	add.l d0,shdr.length(a6)
	move.w crc,d1

My apologies.

      To err is human, to really screw things up you need MPW.
