- SEA stands for SelfExtracting Archive, like the SFX created by lha or zip
- for DOS. The means that the archive contains the program necessary to
- decompress it. If the archive is one of the usual types (CompactPro, StuffIT)
- it will be possible to decompress the file just by running StuffIT expander,
- if it is a more exotic archiver, the only way to extract is to run the
- program. Since usually Mac files are encoded as hqx or MacBinary, the program
- first has to converted to Mac format (e.g. with StuffIT expander) and then
- can be run from the file browser.
