For some strange reason, my server doesn't like .sitx files.

I replaced it with a .zip file, and now dl is available.

Thank you all, for your comments and alerts!

That's strange. IRIN opens perfectly in my machine (iMacG5, MacOx10.4.6).

Do you have Max/MSP installed, if so, is it version 4.5.7? for some strange reason MAX standalones are not a fully_self_contained app. If there’s a Cycling74 folder inside /library/application support, this folder will override the correspondent one inside the standalone app. If that one is older than the one from the standalone, it will cause problems.

Did you upgrade to MacOx10.4.6 via automatic updater (apple menu)?

As reported in the Max forum, this method is causing problems to Max and standalones. You should use the MacOsXCombo updater(

Before trying any fix, tell me:

Yes. But here is what I did; when you FIRST announced your site, I 

managed to successfully download your software then. At that point, 

I was still on 4.5.6. The next day, I upgraded to 4.5.7. I then 

downloaded your new version. And now I cannot open your new version. 

I trashed the IRIN prefs that I found, but that did not help.

See above. I am now on 4.5.7, so shouldn't be a problem?

No, I used the Combo updater. To be fully sure, I just re-applied

One thing that I noticed - when I unzip the IRIN.zip, there seem to 

be lots of files with ".1" added to their end - for example, there is 

a "DemoFile", and then a "DemoFile.1". Likewise, many of the files 

Perhaps there's something wrong with the .zip??

No, I used the Combo updater.  To be fully sure, I just re-applied 
the Combo updater - no change.

be lots of files with ".1" added to their end - for example, there is 
a "DemoFile", and then a "DemoFile.1".    Likewise, many of the files 
in the subfolders have this also.

That's weird dan, in my Mac the file unzips Ok. Do You have the latest unzip software (I used version 10.0.1 alladyn dropstuff)?

I'm just using the built in Mac's zip ability. I've been extremely 

unsattisfied with Stuffit for a few years now, and it seems as though 

they screw things up more and more with each new release.

Can you take your good source folder, ctrl-click on it, and select 

"Create Archive"? That should make a .zip of it, using the Mac's 

built in functions - then you could either e-mail that to me, or post

The error message seems to indicate that the Code Fragment Manager is 

looking for information stored in a Classic Mac OS Resource Fork.

it sounds like IRIN.zip was doing something with zipping resource 

forks that is incompatible with the way your unzip program expects 

In the year 2006 this should not be a problem anymore. StuffIt 

handled this stuff absolutely reliably 20 years ago. But this doesn't 

get you any further. I would suggest that Carlos try using the Mac OS 

"Create Archive" command (from the Context Menu for documents).

Another wild guess: perhaps your server doesn't have a MIME type 

associated with the .sitx suffix. There are solutions to this 

problem, but they also depend of fiddling with files that most people 

aren't even allowed to see, let alone modify. A Unix Guru might be

This in fact did work (Carlos e-mailed me off list). The .zip that 

is at this moment on his site is the Mac OS created one, and it works 

fine. Like I said, Stuffit has gone to h*ll.
