We previously reported a problem where Stuffit Standard 8.0 refused to run. A thread on Aladdin's support pages indicated a permissions problem, and suggested a Terminal-based fix.

Aladdin Systems has now released StuffIt Engine 8.0.1, an update for StuffIt Deluxe and StuffIt Standard Edition

This installer will update both StuffIt Deluxe 8.0 and StuffIt Standard Edition 8.0 to version 8.0.1. Aladdin says "It is designed to address a problem whereby Mac OS X application programs (which were stored in archives that do not support UNIX file permissions, such as .sit) cannot be run when they are expanded. After this update has been applied, StuffIt Expander (and the expansion behavior in all other components of StuffIt Deluxe) will add the UNIX execute file attribute as files are expanded. This will allow expanded Mac OS X application programs to run."
