My old mac

[Doogee]

Heres the go, westside.

I have a mac its an LC575, not a powerpc and it runs System Software 7.5.5.
Once again i wanna do shit on it, and shit requires stuffit expander, you see the thing is that stuffit expander comes is hqx format, which you need expander to expand anyway so how do i expand my shit if the expander comes in compressed form?

In other words, how to i install stuffit expander that will work on my old mac?

right the problem is.

All programs to download off the net for my old ass lc575 mac requires a program called alladin stuffit expander (or another way to open hqx and bin files) BUT the problem is that the expander comes in hqx form.

Dont macs even have an executable format of any kind?

[Calum]

that seems odd to me. are you sure that it's not a self extracting archive?
how about if you unzip it on your linux machine onto an MSDOS disk? or if it's too large, use this program here and then once that's installed, you'll be able to use it to unzip the real alladin expander.

of course you will have to download the linux version of aladin expander (available from aladin's website) to do this, plus i am assuming that system 7 can read msdos disks (although i am almost totally certain that it can)

how's that? not perfect...

[Doogee]

there is no stuffit expander for linux, only the compressor.

Why oh why doesnt anyone make a file that i can just run on the damn thing, i thought macs were meant to be easy.

[Doogee]

well i got the file decompressed and i put them on a hfs disk through linux and the mac read them fine but when i try to run a file it says it doesnt know which program created it or sometihng. also all the files have the same icon, how do i tell the mac that this is a program for fuxx0rs sake

Aladdin says that you do need Stuffit to get Stuffit, which is easily the most retarded thing I've heard. Ever.

Try downloading Netscape, which may have a built in binhex decoder... (click Mac Classic)

.Bin files should work fine. So if you could get files in that format, it would be cool.

EDIT: Check the disks, BTW. I could swear stuffit was on one of my install disks...

ive tried downloading a .bin file before and it gave me the same error (could not find the program that made this document).

I hope newer Macs arnt like this, thats for sure.

[rtgwbmsr]

Stuffit has been included ever since 8.6 (I think...maybe it was 9)

[Kintaro]

Hmmmm try getting the hfs tools for Linux so you can set the self-extractor executable (i think thats what you need to do) personally I had the same problem and it was never solved.
