SIT files: what are they and how do I open them?
Are you facing difficulties opening unknown files on your computer, or wondering exactly what this file is?
We've got the information and best software solutions for opening these files effortlessly.
.sit file type #1: StuffIt archive
In most cases sit files are primarily seen as compressed archives in the unique StuffIt Expander archive format. They are most commonly found on the Mac platform.
Further details:
sit files are compressed archives used by StuffIt, a file compression and expansion utility.
SIT format supports error correction and data compression. It was commonly used on Mac OS systems, but has since been replaced by .zip and .rar formats.
The format allows for the compression of files, folders, and applications, making it easier to distribute them over the internet or other means.

.sit file type #3: PDP-10 Fortran-77 compiler source file
Files with sit suffix can be also found as compiler source from the Load-and-Go Fortran-77 Compiler for DEC PDP-10 computers.
Further details:
File extension sit is mainly associated with Fortran-77 compiler (Load-and-Go Fortran-77 Compiler) developed for DEC PDP-10 mainframe computers developed by Steven's Institute of Technology.
A .sit file stores sources for compiler.
The PDP-10 was a mainframe computer manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) from the late 1960s on; the name stands for "Programmed Data Processor model 10". It was the machine that made time-sharing common; it looms large in hacker folklore because of its adoption in the 1970s by many university computing facilities and research labs, the most notable of which were MIT's AI Lab and Project MAC, Stanford's SAIL, Computer Center Corporation (CCC), and Carnegie Mellon University.
The PDP-10 architecture was an almost identical version of the earlier PDP-6 architecture, sharing the same 36-bit word length and slightly extending the instruction set (but with improved hardware implementation). Some aspects of the instruction set are unique, most notably the "byte" instructions, which operated on arbitrary sized bit-fields (at that time a byte was not necessarily eight bits).
