I think this is probably true. <OT rant> I now have the Stuffit 
Expander, but I think it's ridiculous for it to just guess like that. It 
should have simply stated that I needed to get Stuffit Expander and 
ended it right there (giving me the option of trying to open it using 
the application of my choice). And even if it were an Office document, 
it's yet another absurd leap to simply assume that I want to download a 
trial copy of MS Office. What if I want to use NeoOffice instead (which 
I would)? </OT>

Yes, I have downloaded it and run it in command line mode. I will try 
via Xcode soon. The folks on the GNAT-OSX mailing list are very helpful!
