![]() I had completely forgotten that these incompatibilities between stuffit existsed. I have a copy of the internet archive's copy of macgarden from a couple years ago and largely things on there are packed poorly and inconsistently and sorting through it and formatting it more suitably for access by old macs is something I want to do, but haven't been able to dedicate a lot of time to very recently. 7.5.x+opentransport and appleshare updates through 10.6.x) or FTP - so I realize that that doesn't solve the immediate problem, at least right away. However, that's admittedly more relevant if you've got TCP/IP on the PowerBook, as vtools can be connected to via appleshare-over-IP (req. Incidentally, solving the "how things are stored on web sites target more at modern computers than vintage ones" is one of the goals of vtools. How are people supposed to get started if they don't have stuffit?īy chance, do you have a localtalk to ethertalk bridge? If so, an option netatalk2 on the linux box, or perhaps following along with cheesestraws' effors to build a userland localtalk implementation, which should make the mechanical process of transferring files more easy, and let you avoid having to deal with basilisk II.Ī related option would be to use a newer mac that also has ethernet (even a quadra will do) and download files from macgarden onto that one and use localtalk or diskettes or another removable storage media to transfer them. It seems odd to me that all of the stuffit version are compress with *.sit and are not *.sea.bin. hqx files, it doesn't handle the resulting. so while stuffit 3.something on my powerbook recognizes and decodes the. Is the problem that the *.sit files are corrupted when I DL them to my linux box (and Stuffit Expander 5.5 knows how to deal with this corruption) or is it that the files on these sites are really compressed in a way that is not easily compatible with System 7.1 and earlier versions of Stuffit Expander?Īs a note, there have been some *.sit.hqx and *.sit.bin files that haven't worked for me. However, Stuffit Expander 5.5 won't run on system 7.1. I _have_ found that Stuffit Expander 5.5 on BasiliskII seems to handle things that don't otherwise work. I have several version of stuffit on both BasiliskII and the powerbook that don't uncompress the the downloaded *.sit files. However, I have troubles with *.sit files (which is the majority of the files on these sites). sea.bin works fine on the powerbook and in BasiliskII. > Ymodem transfer -> Powerbook running System 7.1Īnything I DL that is. Here's a diagram showing the paths that the files take. ![]() I have been trying to get software from macintoshgarden and macrepository to run on basiliskII and a powerbook.
