Hello Kenny, ".sea files" are self extracting archives. They extract when you doubleclick their icon. You – probably – downloaded the file using a IBM or Amiga terminal program. That won't work, since the MacIntosh has a "strange" file system and you lost the vital information that tells the Mac "this is a binary file". Thus, he opens TechText. This is not only true for ".sea" files but for all binary files. There are several ways to fix this problem: 1. Using Mac terminal software… and you will never ever have to deal with it. Download the file again on your Mac. 2. BinHex5 for Mac, MacSee for Windows and so on. If you need to download Mac software through a non-Mac PC go to the Mac New Users Help Forum (GO MACNEW). They have a series of articles and files that will solve the problem. Recontact me, if you need further help Frank
