#Zip and sit files
5 messages in this thread
Hi it's me again. Thank you for all the help so far. Now for my next
question: What are zip and sit files, and what do I need to run them. Thanks
again!!!
Alan,
<What are zip and sit files, and what do I need to run them.>
Can't help you with the sit files (don't know what they are), but zip is
another archiver like LHA, ARC, etc. To unpack them you need Unzip, to make
them you need ZIP. Both are in the AmigaUser library (archivers/crunchers) as
Unzip.lha, and Zip.lha. If you don't have it, you'll need LHA138.run (self
extracting) to unpack them, it's in the same area.

Hi alan,
>> What are zip and sit files, and what do I need to run them <<
SIT files are used by Macintosh-owners and is yet another archive-method like
zip, lha, etc… . If you use a Mac, you just have to doubleclick on the icon
and it will unpack itself. No need to give commands.
Most of the files in those SIT-archives will only be of use to U when you run
the MacOS, but if you want, there are programs available in the libs to
decompress them on your Amiga or on a PC. Just do a search with the keyword
'sit' and they'll pop up.

If a file has a .zip extension, you can tell almost for sure that it is a
peecee file. Anyway, you can decompress it with the utilities that Asha said.
.sit files are Stuffit files, the typical Mac archiver program. AFAIK, you need
a Mac with Stuffit Expander to decompress them.
Hope this helps
