Well, besides ADT not supporting 3.5" floppies... another problem is
the way Apple packages the diskette images of GSOS itself.  They are
Macintosh self-extracting archive (.sea)s of a Disk Copy 800K ProDOS
disk image.  You pretty much need a Mac to unpack them in the first
place.

I wonder, why is it so difficult to unpack these? I think I managed to do it with Linux unstuff (I'm positive that I unpacked them somehow since I have 6.0.1 on my virtual KEGS hd, but don't remember the details as it was years ago).

Is it software patents or what is it about StuffIt archives that prevents those otherwise fairly universal unarchivers from handling them?
