>From the Finder;
Go | Applications | Utilities | Terminal
type in (without quotes)[
"whereis gzip" .... should return;
/usr/bin/gzip
for help, type in (without quotes)
"man gzip"
return should be a number of screens that
will detail the various options/flags on how
to use the tool

I've got Stuffit Standard 8.0.2 showing under the
Applications screen ... but I also see that Apple is
only listing the current version (10) for OS-X 10.3 at
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/stuffitexpander.html
one spot for download seems to require a bit of info for
getting to the actual download page, but this version is listed
http://www.stuffit.com/cgi-bin/stuffit_loginpage.cgi?standardmac
VersionTracker lists this URL, but also lists;
http://tc.versiontracker.com/product/redir/lid/382268/stuffit_std_802_x_install.dmg
http://tc.versiontracker.com/product/redir/lid/382279/stuffit_std_802_x_install.dmg
didn't chase them down ....
