Hello!

One thing that should be added to this tread is that most of the times it is unecessary to use a file creator/type/resource creator /editor tool to change the resource tags of files from LW documents to genuine .sit documents.

One common mistake when trying to decompress these files is that a person might drag a file directly out of LW's shared directory and drop it ontop of the Stuffit Expander alias on the desktop. The result will be that LW will launch and nothing else will happen. The solution to this problem is to drag the file out of the Shared Folder and drop it on the desktop then close the Share folder and then after the "inbetween landing" on the desktop you drop the file ontop of the Stuffit Expander alias icon on the desktop and it will decompress just fine. Another thing is to make sure you use the latest Stuffit Expander which is 7.X.

If the file you downloaded was compressed in such a way that your old version are unable to handle it it will also just result in the LW launch situation.

If none of the above works then it is time to use the other method meaning changing the resourcetag of a file.
