Advise you tell your friend:

   http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/zip.html

   In 10.5 the "Create Archive" option has been renamed "Compress",  
and the menu order slightly reorganised.

There is NO REASON for using Stuffit files these days - unless he  
wishes to send files to collectors of obsolete hardware he should  
probably uninstall Stuffit from his system. I cannot conceive that  
anyone could seriously be still using OS 9 or earlier in earnest.
