Voila ! Yes, Stuffit Expander (v 5.5) did unwind the tar.gz file :)
Now I get no missing file messages, but I did get 30 or 40 syntax errors. The
drawing is much more complete than before.
The biggest hassle is that the window title bar for the rendering window is

is *always* in front of everything else. This makes is very difficult to resize
or 'window shade' the rendering window.
There was one minor issue with the SIOUX msg window clipping out a rectangle on
the rendering window, but that went away when I moved the rendering window,
which I could only do with the thin side border because the title bar is hidden.
