Ignore this if I've missed the point, but most of the .SIT and SEAs for classic software were encoded under Classic conditions. As correctly pointed out, SEAs are programs, they will only run under the Classic (pre-OS X environment). Some may require much older resources such as those in OS 8 or earlier. The same goes for .SIT files. It is best to import these files into something like Sheepshaver, Basalisk II or MinivMac and expand them under the proper OS environment. I know of no other way around this.
