is there any support for stuffit ? [turn into \"jpg compression in Stuffit\" ? ]

[Mike Marchywka]

I'm trying to install cygwin from a divx compressed file and it isn't 
working.
The cygwin files were too big so I saved a lot of space by putting them in 
divx format.
Divx hasn't gotten back to me and I assume it is their problem since cygwin 
works
ok in the normal format.
Do you have a utility for that? It worked good on video files.

LOL.
