Is there one? I mean 10.4 does not come with it anymore and now the stupid creator of stuffit dosent let you download the "free" expander without getting the trial of the full package. When you install it, it naggs the hell out of you to get the full version when I don't need that crap.

Is there ANY other program (CLI or GUI, I don't care) that can extract stuffit files?

Hopefully people will STOP USING THIS FORMAT now that the OS does not default come with the decompressor.

PLEASE USE ZIP, TAR/GZ, OR COMPRESSED DISK IMAGES!

My Stuff-it, which is Stuff-it Standard version 9.0.2, has NEVER had a nag window when opening the software. I'm not sure what you downloaded. The Stuffit Deluxe, which is commercial software, probably is what you have.
You don't need to register the standard product, unless you need Encryption, Segmenting, and the creation of Self-Extracting files.
All I need is the un-stuffing capabilities.

I guess they changed their format recently for 10.4.

Last time I was there in order to get expander you HAD to download the trial to delux.
