Tiger/Kona System Test question

[Jeff Bernstein]

I can state that StuffIt is no longer bundled with Tiger. Boooo. I guess we will all have to keep it Zipped. NOT.

I can also state that Tiger needs more time at the mothership. 10.4.2 should be a marvelous release!

Hi AJA !

I have a request. I have just confirmed that Tiger DOES NOT come with Allume Stuffit, so there is NO WAY to decompress SIT SITX or HQX files.
Tiger supports decompression of zip, gzip, tar’d gzip, and bzip2 files.

Will AJA downloads, including AJA Kona System Test be offered as these native files, so we don’t have to purchase StuffIt for Tiger?

Thanks –
Bob Zelin

Stuffit Expander is a free download.

Hi Bob-

Yes, we are going to switch our files on the website over to zip…not sure when this will be complete, but we are listening!

Thanks,

Hi John –
Please read the entire site before posting.
The FREE expander from Allume is now $49.95 for the “shareware”.

Geez…Zelin complainin’ about 50 bucks! For the record, StuffitX files are pretty amazing. I have compressed down a 250 Megabyte AVID uncompressed animation to a managable 25 Megabytes. Normal .sit files couldn’t come close. If you have to move these big files around, nothing beats .sitx. Allume has really stepped up their algorithms, and no one else is close.

I think I use Stuffit nearly every day.

Show your support for their efforts…get the upgrade.

Bob,
You are usually dead on about everything but you are wrong about this.
The $49.99 shareware product is “Stuffit Standard”, which includes the tools to create archives as well as decompress them.
Stuffit Expander is a free download as always. Click the Green Download button under the red word free and you will see for yourself.

Yep, John you’re right and Bob is wrong. I downloaded the free stuffit expander yesterday (version 9.0.2) and it’s running fine with Tiger on my laptop. So really there’s no need to switch over to zip files unless AJA wants to.

And just as a caveat to this, in you update to 9.0.2, and you’re running Expander 9.0 or earlier, you need to download the FULL version, not the upgrade. The upgrade will only work if you’re running 9.0.1 as stated on their website.

Whether I am right or wrong, its a horribly designed webpage that is totally unclear…just too much info and not very well explained.
Anyway, like Walter, I downloaded the free version and it works just fine for FREE.
