It's been years since I've had a copy of the 'pro' version of Stuffit, so I'm

I don't have access to a Mac, so I can't say anything with certainty, but I've
used the Unix version of unzip (which I'm guessing is the one from Fink above,
only compiled for a different *nix flavor).  I would expect the above to extract
the files into the following directory:

~/library/ldraw/ldraw

The parts update zips all have the ldraw directory encoded into them.
Consequently, any unzip program that supports directories inside the zip (which

the ldraw subdirectory of whatever directory you unzip into.  So if
~/library/ldraw is your ldraw directory, then 'unzip -f lcad0303.zip -d
~/library' would seem like the correct command.
