Stuffit installer SMI

I have a rather bad problem that I have run into. Because I store my mac software on a Windows 2000 server I keep all my files stuffed to preserve the resource fork. The problem is that for the last few years since I started doing this and not fumbling with floppy and ZIP disks I had been working with 7.6 and newer which included basic stuffit utilities. System 7.1 however does not include these and this I can't unstuff anything I have. Yes I do have several copies of stuffit handy on the server, however I have managed to stuff them as well. :I

Is there a website somewhere online that hosts a stuffit installer in the SMI format?

 
Haha this takes me back to when I had 7.1 on my IIsi and no internet access on it. I could only dial up from a 486 w/ Windows and copy stuff on floppies. My local library had a Mac book which included stuffit expander on a floppy disk. I withdrew that book more than once.

 
Basically, take stuffit expander and put it on a floppy+spare as backup and you may as well also stick it on a CD too. :p That way you have it for the future.

 
What version of Stuffit did you compress them into?

If it was something like v.9, good luck. You'll need a bridge machine. If it was something older like 5.5, then you'll need Expander 5.5 or 6.0.
