OT-distribution to MAC OS 9.1 users

The client must have system install disks from 8.x or 9.x. Any of 
these installs Stuffit Expander when installing internet stuff. 
However, these are versions 4.x or 5.x.

On the other hand, they can just fetch the StuffIt Standard from 
Allume's web site <http://www.stuffit.com/mac/index.html>. Stuffit 
Expander is part of it. They just don't distribute it separately 
anymore.

And you are not stack to using .sit. StuffIt Expander expands zip 
files just fine.
