Cocoa Developers,
I think the Macintosh community would be better off if we could phase
out the .sit format and standardize on something that's open for Mac OS
X.
What should the new format be? .gz and .tar.gz don't include resource
forks.
Should we create a new format?
I think this is an important topic to finalize while OS X is still
relatively new. Something as basic as file compression/decompression
should not be in controlled by a single third party developer.
I can provide the open source application for compress and decompress
once we decide.
