#24 unpacked .sit is mangled on Windows 2000

[Anonymous]

I downloaded the alpha .sit collection
(THE_Alpha_v3.sit) and unpacked it using Stuffit
Standard Edition v 7.5.0.131

The text in the source files are on a single line. I
tried running setup.py and python exited with a syntax
error.

I'm guessing this is a Mac/Windows line termination
problem. I tried to set Stuffit to convert text files
to Windows format, but that did not seem to change
anything.

Did you download the .sit file as binary or text? It should
be binary...of course, that could not be the problem at all...
Maybe we should use .zip instead, since it will work on both
platforms (to the best of my knowledge)

I would suggest you try to download the source from CVS
rather than bother with the binaries. Having read the
relevant fact that the .sit file only works on Mac, I doubt
it matters whether or not it is using .sit or not. I don't
know if it will compile on Windows 2000 or not, though.
