Convert SITX to SIT

Understanding SITX and SIT file formats

The SITX file format is a compressed archive format developed by Smith Micro Software, primarily used on Mac OS. It is an advanced version of the older SIT format, offering better compression and support for larger files. SITX files are often used to bundle multiple files together, making them easier to distribute and store.

The SIT file format, also known as StuffIt, is an older compression format that was widely used on Mac OS systems. Although it has been largely replaced by more modern formats, it is still used for compatibility with older systems and software.

Converting SITX to SIT

Converting a SITX file to a SIT file involves decompressing the SITX archive and then recompressing the contents into a SIT archive. This process may be necessary for compatibility with older systems or software that only support the SIT format.
