Has anyone tried to use macutil as an alternative command line method to decompressing stuffit files?

http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/macutil1.html

Anyone have a binary built?

I don't see anything there that would lead me to believe it handles StuffIt files at all.

Edit: Nevermind, the Darwin Ports page mentions it...

I thought it might be a great substitute for unstuffing StuffIt files without having to use or purchase the current app.

I think it handles old-style Stuffit archives, which used the well-known Compress algorithm. As far as I know, no program other than Stuffit Expander can open new-style Stuffit files. I could be wrong though.

Probably true, and unfortunate. :/
