How to find older versions of software (Stuffit Expander)

Hello all-

I have a Power G4 with a Power PC G4 processor. I would like to download Stuffit Expander, but I only seem able to find the current versions (on the SmithMicro and cnet websites). And the G4 doesn't have the necessary specifications (no Intel processor and the OS is too old - 10.4.11)

Is there anywhere I can find an older version of Stuffit to download? One that my computer can "handle"?

Thanks in advance for all help...

Power Mac G4, Mac OS X (10.4.11), Power PC G4 (2.1)

Hi Ruprick,

I believe The Unarchiver 2.6 will do all that Stuffit does & more, REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later...

Do you have the original OS X discs that came with the computer? Some versions came bundled with free version of Stuffit Expander. Use Pacifist to select individual components from the disc for installation so you don't have to reinstall the entire system.

some older versions are available as 30-day trials:

I think you could then buy a license to activate it, contact SmithMicro support for help.
