That doesn't work. You miss the point...a complete Macintosh file can 
not exist on a Windows system. There are filesystem-specific structures 
and data that are not supported by other filesystems. Stuffit is useful 
for archiving files so they can be transported through other systems, 
but you can't successfully decompress a .sit archive without losing some 
information.
This was a silly idea in the first place, lets drop it now, OK?
