According to the articles googe found, the free version of the
unpacker for Linux doesn't support the .sitx format.  Seems
like a big-ole "FU" from smithmicro to the Linux community if
you ask me.

If the trail version of the non-free stuffit from smithmicro
doesn't support it, then I doubt anything else will. It's a
format that the sutffit guys invented. What the world needs
most, after all, is one more proprietary archive format.

I'd tell your friend that stuffit is evil and he should use
somethign else.
