Do StuffIt 5.5 archives encode the resource fork safely for transfer to a non-Mac ?

Yes sorry I meant plus the MacBinary deal. However, you can always unstuff them on newer macs too.

I think BinHex 5 offers some some basic compression in addition to encoding.

But you have to convert them into something other than a .sit to upload them because they have a resource fork.

What's in that resource fork? Will stuffit expander fail to extract an older .sit file that is missing its resource fork? I didn't think that was the case but I could be misremembering.

I don’t think old StuffIt archives used the resource fork for anything.
