opening doc+.sit file in windawsXP sp3

[mirapeerance]

Hello
I am working from Fujitsu Siemens laptop loaded with Windows XP, SP3.

I just received an attachment ending in doc+.sit. It would not open in word. I found out .sit is short for stuffit. I then tried to download the free stuffit expander for windows. It told me it would only work when I had downloaded .Net 2.0 Framework from Microsoft. So then I tried downloading another free extractor utility but it did not work. Is there any simple way??

many thanks

Mira

Why not download .net framework then?

Thanks for asking, Lister. Simple answer is that I don't know what framework.net is and I am reluctant to take new things on if I don't know what they do. Also i copied out the link address, but it came up with an error for that page. So I stopped. However if the framework.net is harmless, will fo back and get it.

Many thanks, Mira

.net framework is a microsoft utility having to do with the way software is handled, my description may be in accurate but i can assure you that it is merely a part of windows and therefore is harmless for the pc.
