📁 How to Import .sit Files

To import and extract .sit (StuffIt) archive files into Mini vMac:

  1. Drag the .sit file into the Mini vMac window while it's running. It will appear as ImportFL on the desktop.
  2. Open Import FL from the applications folder to convert the file into the Mac file system.
  3. Open ResEdit, and use File > Get File/Folder Info… to open the imported file.
  4. Change the Type to SIT! and Creator to SIT! (all caps, with exclamation marks).
  5. Save the changes and close ResEdit.
  6. Finally, open StuffIt Expander and expand the .sit file normally.

💡 Tips

  • To add more files, drag them onto the Mini vMac window while running.
  • Save your changes back out by copying files to a blank disk image and ejecting it before closing.
  • Customize the experience by editing the Mini vMac.ini (if included).
