It works great! But one question regarding Stuffit etc.

So I installed Basilisk II on my MacBook Pro (from 2008, with Snow Leopard) and so far it works great!
Thanks to everyone who was involved in creating and supporting this emulator!
Back in the late 90s I wrote some PalmOS application, using Metrowerks Code Warrior
on a Powerbook with 68040 processor.
I later transferred the Metrowerks software and the project to an iBook G4,
where I could use it in the Mac OS 9 environment.
And now I was able to install it in Basilisk II and Mac OS 7.5 and it works.
It's incredible. That way I can still compile my old Palm app on my modern computer
(and then use it with a Palm emulator, on my Android phone ).
One question: How should I make backup copies of my Metrowerks Palm project?
My idea was to create a .sit archive in OS 7.5 and then copy it to the "unix" disk
and save it on an external disk, memory card, or whatever.
But it seems that Stuffit / DropStuff is shareware? The versions I found have a trial period of 15 days.
Yes, it's possible to circumvent the trial period by going back to an earlier copy of the harddisk image
and reinstall it. But is there an easier way?
Is there a free version of an old Stuffit or some other archive software that I could use?
Thanks
