sea files

The problem is that i'm unable to expand a .SEA file on my system. It doesn't get open on my laptop. So, can any body tell me that how can i open .SEA files on my laptop? Can any body provide me the correct solution for doing so?

As has already been pointed out, that's an old self-extracting archive. It's actually a complete application, capable of expanding the data that has been compressed inside the archive. However, the .sea format has not been used in quite a long time, and the chances that whatever is in there is usable now is very, very low. Most often, .sea files were used for distributing applications, but if the .sea application doesn't run on your computer (as I would expect it not to), then the application inside it won't either.


If it has old data instead of an application, you may be able to use it (depending on what kind of data, and whether there is an application capable of reading it now), in which case Stuffit Expander will be the tool you'll need to crack the archive, as Tony has already said.

True, but the free Stuffit Expander is Univrsal and should extract the file.
