Description
StuffIt Archive (.sit) is a compressed archive format originally developed for the classic Mac OS. It bundles multiple files into a single archive while compressing them and preserving Mac-specific data such as resource forks. It was long the standard way to distribute and store files on the Macintosh platform.
File created using Tar archive and XZ compression tools; contains a .TAR archive that has been compressed using .XZ compression, which compresses at a high ratio.
