OK, you can download this to the PC. Then transfer it directly to the 1.44 MB diskette in the PC (PC formatted of course). If it is compressed you will need an ".sea" version which is a self-extracting archive. You put that PC diskette in the Mac. It can read it. double click on the diskette icon in the Finder (it will show up on the desktop reading "PC" across the icon of the diskette). You will see the ".sea " file sitting there. Double click on that and it will decompress itself and voila you have stuffit expander in unstuffed format. To use that you either double click on it to open the program and then select the file you want to decompress or drag the icon of the file you want to decompress onto the expander icon.
