Can anyone get this file to unstuff?
It's a file from BBS in a Box volume 22 with the description "August issue of Hermes Externals Newsletter." I would love to be able to read this! I get a disk-related error when trying to expand with Unstuffit v5.5 and v3.51, and I can't get v1.6b1 to read it.

Thanks in advance!

I was able to do it with Stuffit Destinations.app on modern macOS (Monterey).
Unarchiver.app did not like it.

Sweet - thank you!! Never even heard of Stuffit Destinations. I just downloaded Stuffit Expander 16 (Stuffit Destinations is not available in the App Store) for my MBP running Ventura but it couldn't unstuff it either...

Wanna give this one a try too? 🙂

I think I downloaded it from https://www.stuffit.com
Stuffit Deluxe Mac Updates Version 16.0.5 English – Mac OS X 10.8 – 10.11 in 2018.

Actually, I downloaded it from smithmicro.onfastspring.com which I guess was their online store at the time?

I don't know if the update from https://www.stuffit.com requires a license.

Both files from 2018 and now are the same.
