On my System 7.5.5 LC475, I want to replace the v5.5 StuffIt Expander with the Deluxe version.
If it is not available free, I am willing to pay for it. The problem is, I have no idea where to get it. Aladdin (Allume) does not list it in their shop.
Any suggestions appreciated.

As the interest of the vast majority of Mac users in any gear more than a few years old—and certainly more than a generation old—wanes increasingly, more than a little treasure trove is appearing in places such as eBay. The gear is either well-used, if not well used, or near-pristine as sellers attempt to capitalize on the diminishing number of die-hard retro-freaks as the part-time retro-freaks succumb to the allure of current gear. It is possible, if you go softly, softly, and are patient, to get almost anything that would have been near-impossible to find only three to five years ago. There won't be many such treasures available, but there will be some, and you need to be ever-watchful. I scored a virtually perfect CD of StuffIt 5.5.1 DeLuxe only 15mo. ago.
The only advance(?) of 5.5.1 over 5.5 is in file integrity watching. If all you need is decompression/decoding, the (once) free download of 5.5 is quite sufficient.
