I just released the source to the AMUG Internet Installer (ca 1995) via Macintosh Garden.

That sit file has a "AMUG Internet Assistant" folder with the bundle (package) bit set? Or maybe there's a problem with the way I extracted it?
getfileinfo /Volumes/Storage/Downloads/AMUG\ Internet\ Assistant
directory: "/Volumes/Storage/Downloads/AMUG Internet Assistant"

This can clear the bundle bit:
setfile -a avbstclInmedz "/Volumes/Storage/Downloads/AMUG Internet Assistant" |

If it gets extracted on a modern system, it will strip the resource forks from some of the files and make it unable to compile. Not that it matters, I don't expect other people to compile and run it since I just posted it for history's sake. I'll create a revised version next time I turn on the 950 and see if that fixes the issue.
Thank You for the heads up!

-D Hmm… why would it strip resource forks? Files I stuff in 7.5.3 usually unstuff with resource forks intact for me on MacOS 26…. Not on Linux or Windows of course. |

Ok, I tried it on my mac and it failed. Might have been zip doing it instead of Stuffit. I'll have to beat on it and see if I can replicate the error. That way I'll know what not to do at least. |

It's a .sit file so I used Stuffit Destinations.app to unstuff it. Resource forks and FinderInfo are intact. Running on macOS Monterey.
