[edit] Alternatives?

What alternatives, if any, exist for StuffIt? I've searched the net and have only found one Mac alternative (which is still in developement), and none for windows. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.124.53.88 (talk • contribs) 12:46, 2005 August 21

If you're on OS X, why not just use .zip, which is built in to the operating system? Just right click on a folder and choose "create archive." Or do you mean something else by "alternative" that I don't understand? Nandesuka 04:47, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Another software that has the ability to open stuffit files would be an alternative. To download a 7MB file, install the bloatware and be nagged everytime just to open a .sit file is quite annoying. Some mac fanatics think is a good thing because it supposedly "encourages" people to buy a mac, and send/publish files exclusively in this format, but to me it has the opposite effect.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Stuffit Icon.png

Image:Stuffit Icon.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Here is a link to the direct download. I don't know if it belongs in the article, or where it would go. Corky842 21:58, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
