Dimly Lit Corners
Ken McLeodHave you ever wished you could create a StuffIt archive on your modern Unix-based Mac with a native open source tool, so you could more easily transfer files to your retro Macs? Well... have fun.
Minor update: support for LZW compression has been added, so those StuffIt archives now take up less space on disk.

@billgoats @_the_cloud exactly my reaction…❗️❗️❗️
Amin Girasol@_the_cloud more of this, please!
Here are the contents of an Atari 8-bit disk image, showing up in Nextcloud, because I mounted the disk image onto the Linux filesystem on my desktop machine using a FUSE filesystem driver for Atari disk images.
This is the future I want.
The Doctor@fluidlogic @_the_cloud Sometimes the future is pretty cool.
mcc@_the_cloud Thank you for this.
I'd ask how much work it would be to add extraction, but I guess that would require grappling with the compression algorithm huh
@mcc I punted on handling compression in this initial version, but certainly am thinking about the extraction option. The older programs (there was also an `unsit`) piped the file stream through a `compress` command to do this.
fit check for my napalm era@_the_cloud very handy for multi-file transfers. thanks for updating
sit!
Irenes (many)@_the_cloud oh neat!
Misty@_the_cloud This looks handy, thank you!
michel v@_the_cloud @lxc that refreshed a quarter of a century old memories of when I would package the first releases of b2 in multiple archive formats including StuffIt, to facilitate adoption.
Rob Nee@_the_cloud what a cool project. As an old fart I especially appreciate these types of connections to the past. 😀
@_the_cloud Reimplementation? Company over, no time to read through right now.
Jean-Michel Durand@_the_cloud @smallsco Great work! Thanks Ken!
fergycool@_the_cloud Brilliant!
