Help -- .sea.bin files, PC to Mac to IIgs

[r_beaudry@hotmail.com (Rich Beaudry)]

Hello all,

I am trying to get System 6.0.1 for my IIgs on floppies, and I am
having problems.    I understand that .sea files are supposed to be
"self-extracting", btu I cannot get them to extract!  Here's what I
did:

- Went to Apple's web site, and downloaded the *.sea.bin files for all
7 disks to my PC
- Used MacSee to copy some of the files to a Mac-formatted diskette
(1.4MB, 3.5").  This stripped the .bin extension, and left the .sea
extension
- Used the Mac to format an 800KB 3.5" DD diskette, and copied some of
the .sea files to the diskette
- Fired up the IIgs.

At this point, I tried booting a 6.0.1 floppy, and double-clicking the
.sea file, and I also tried booting ProDos 8, and doing a "-" and a
"BRUN" on the file, but all of these methods result in "TYPE MISMATCH"
errors, or other errors.  I tried changing the file type to "S16", and
"BIN", and "EXE"... no luck on any...

I also tried skipping the MacSee part, and copying from a PC floppy to
the Mac, then from the Mac to a ProDos diskette... No luck....

Is there something in the PC-Mac exchange that is bombing these files?

I have no problem transferring .SHK and .SDK files, and of course I
can use ADT for .DSK files, but this .SEA.BIN is driving me nuts!

Can anyone help?
