Yes, I transferred the HQX files to the Mac. The came up on the desktop with
an icon that was two "D"s. I double clicked one and it extracted
(unwrapped?) it to a SEA file. The SEA file showed up on the desktop as a
"blank page" type icon.

The Mac OS I have at the time is System 7.1. I downloaded something called
Trans Mac from the net to transfer the files from the PC to the Mac. I also
have a program called MacDrive that comes with some Aladdin software for
expanding and archiving Mac archives. I was playing around with it and it
extracted the Netscape .SEA.HQX file I downloaded all the way down to the
folders and programs. I tried it on Shrinkit1.1 (also downloaded from
Apple's site) but it couldn't do anything with the .SEA file. It reported
the file format was incorrect or some such thing.

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.
