unsit - Macintosh StuffIt file extractor
|
|
|
|
Version 1, for StuffIt 1.31
|
|
|
|
This program will unpack a Macintosh StuffIt file into separate files.
|
|
The data fork of a StuffIt file contains both the data and resource
|
|
forks of the packed files. The program will unpack each Mac file into
|
|
separate .data, .rsrc., and .info files that can be downloaded to a
|
|
Mac using macput. The program is much like the "unpit" program for
|
|
breaking apart Packit archive files.
|
|
|
|
***** IMPORTANT *****
|
|
To extract StuffIt files that have been compressed with the Lempel-Ziv
|
|
compression method, unsit pipes the data through the "compress"
|
|
program with the appropriate switches, rather than incorporate the
|
|
uncompression routines within "unsit". Therefore, it is necessary to
|
|
have the "compress" program on the system and in the search path to
|
|
make "unsit" work. "Compress" is available from the comp.sources.unix
|
|
archives.
|
|
|
|
The program syntax is much like unpit and macput/macget, with some added
|
|
options:
|
|
|
|
unsit [-rdulvq] stuffit-file.data
|
|
|
|
The -r and -d flags will cause only the resource and data forks to be
|
|
written. The -u flag will cause only the data fork to be written and
|
|
to have carriage return characters changed to Unix newline characters.
|
|
The -l flag will make the program only list the files in the StuffIt
|
|
file. The -v flag causes the program to list the names, sizes, type,
|
|
and creators of the files it is writing. The -q flag causes it to
|
|
list the name, type and size of each file and wait for a 'y' or 'n'
|
|
for either writing that file or skipping it, respectively.
|
|
|
|
Some of the program is borrowed from the macput.c/macget.c programs.
|
|
Many, many thanks to Raymond Lau, the author of StuffIt, for including
|
|
information on the format of the StuffIt archives in the documentation.
