I have in the past decoded .sea files within executor that were 
downloaded on a PC. 

All you need to do is:

Start Stuffit Expander.
Choose Extract.
Pick the drive (mac or dos).
The content is still there you just can't open it by double clicking on 
the file itself.
(you might also want to change your preferences (file-->Preferences) in 
Stuffit Expander to ask for the destination directory so you can specify 
a mac hfv or drive.)
