Cool

Hello!

Maybe your version of Toast is to old to open it maybe you need Toast Titanium 5 or atleast Toast 4.1.3.You will need a cd burner to open that file since Toast requires you to mount a image or temporary partion on the desktop in which you should place the file and then burn to a cd and then from that cd extract the files(Atleast that is what I have heard but maybe someone else have a different experience).

But in the future you should stay away from double extension files since they are much more risky and could contain a hidden virus.Personally I think that people should not expect to much on what other people migh have on their computers and should always distribute files in a industry standard format and since Stuffit Expander is the standard for Macs then data files should be delivered as compressed Stuffit archives only and you should not need any extra program.

The misstake the person who made file available have done is to insert a CD created in Toast and then directly form that volume dragged the file to Drop Stuff.Resulting in a double extension file that can only be opened if you have Toast and a cd burner.What he should have done was dragging the file to the Desktop and wait for the data to transfer and then dropped the file onto Drop Stuff to be stuffed after it had been moved out of the image.
