- To the original author: How did you get the file into Executor? If you
- ever had the .sea file on a PC drive and the file had no other
- extension (.sea.hqx or .sea.bin) then most likely you've lost the
- self-extracting code (which is in the original file's resource fork).

- I think Expander will only decompress .sea files made by StuffIt. I
- don't believe it will handle Compact Pro .sea files and it definitely
- will not decode DiskDoubler .seas.
