    Try this:

    http://filext.com/

    probably the compressed archive stuffit I can’t see it being the sinclair spectrum one!

    But there again nowt so queer as folk.

    Do a copy of it and rename the copy to a file extension of .zip or .rar may work, may not.
    Depends if you have winrar or winzip on your system, I have both and .zip files will extract in a .rar extension with a lot less fuss than winzips long winded and slow attempt.

    And if you’re using XP you may have to enable the show file extensions
    to perform this task as you may have set it up to hide them.

    Cheers

    free download at

    http://www.stuffit.com/expander/

    will decompress .sit files as well as .zip etc.

    Mac users usually send .sit files (…yes i use a mac, is it that strange! 😉 )

    Are the .rsrc files all that there is Neil?

    Or is there anything else.
