Can anybody tell how to fix a compressed file *.sit

I have got some tools that work with the *.zip format, is there a tool for fixing *.sit files?

The problem is a bad crc.

Help, I have no other back up of the data.

SIT is an extention for Stuff-It expander. It is a Macintosh program equal to Winzip. But it must be un-stuffed on a Mac machine as there is no program to do it on a PC.

It works on windows...

Aladdin Expander
Aladdin Private File 2.0

This programs use the *.sit extention and the output files work, it is just this one that is returning a bad crc error.

A crc error indicates that the file is bad. Sorry, nothing you can do to extract the files.

I installed a newer version of Aladdin Expander, and now it reads the file that had the bad CRC.
