Alright, I burnt a few HQX and SIT files onto a CDR to try them, but I've
hit another problem - the Stuffit Expander on my mac won't open them - if I
click to open one of the files, the program just sits there like I didn't do
anything!

Help again please... :-(

What if you click and drag one of the files onto the icon for Stuffit
Expander?

Is it possible that the files were created with a newer version of
StuffIt, and the older version does not understand the newer format?

As I said in another thread... files transferred from a PC won't
(generally) open on a Mac when you double-click them.

Use Stuffit Expander's File/Open menu.

You either need to pick a cross platform CD format or change the version
of Stuffit on your Pc to an earlier one like 3.0 or 4.0. If you zip your
PC files, Stuffit can open them.
