Alternative method to opening a .sea file

If you have problems opening an '.sea' (self extracting archive) just replace the '.sea' extension with '.app'.

After I downloaded the last Espon 750 driver in '.hqx' format, Stuffit expanded the '.hqx' archive, then when I double clicked on the '.sea' file, stuffit launched and did nothing. So I hilighted the '.sea' archive, typed 'Command-i' and change the '.sea' extension to a '.app' extension. After all, an auto-extractible archive is a kind of application!

I then double clicked on the archive and it happily extracted itself.
