Could be a problem with the BNDL (bundle) info in the files. Try Save a BNDL. http://www.tempel.org/mac/#svab Unlike DOS and Windows, Classic Mac OS relies on info embedded in the resource forks to tell it which is the default application to open a file with. Try running Stuffit Expander then using the menu to open the .sea files. You can also put an alias to Expander on the desktop and drop archive files onto it. Another thing to try is use ResEdit to change the creator attribute to SITD Internet Explorer has most likely set it to MSIE Browser programmers for old Mac OS seriously needed a cluebat to the head for having the browser change the creator types in downloads! Newer versions (5.x) of Stuffit will add resource forks and icons to .sit files that've lost their resource forks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
