Control-click > Create Archive always creates a ZIP file. Can I make it create an SITX file instead?

Those SITX files are the stuff of StuffIt Deluxe ($79.99, www.stuffit.com) - it's a proprietary format that you can only create via StuffIt Deluxe. The good news is that installing StuffIt adds a Stuff (sitx) item to the contextual menu that appears when you Control-click a file, and if you pass an SITX archive on to someone who doesn't have StuffIt Deluxe on their Mac (or PC), they can download the nicely priced - as in free - StuffIt Expander (free, www.stuffit.com) to decompress the files.
