I have Macintosh Classic and SE/30.
I also have Windows XP.
I want to install some applications to Macintosh.
However, I am not able to extract even I install stuffit expander in Windows XP.
Some of file extensions are .hqx, .sea.bin, .bin.
EX) When I decompress .bin file, folder is created and .data file is created which Classic can not read....
How Can I extract or decompress those extension files on PC?
Do I need OS9 or OS8?
Without them, I am not able to install some of good application...
right now, I only install application from floppy disk.
If someone has better knowlege, pleas elet me know.
Thanks
You need to leave the files as the archive and transfer them to the Mac and unstuff them there. The Mac uses a filesystem that has both a data and a resource fork, which the PC does not understand.

Thanks for reply.
Even I transfer file to Classic, I could not extract .hqx, .bin, .sea.bin and so on.
I install macdrive on XP and formatted floppy as Mac
But, System 6.0.7 does not have aplication for compress or decompress files.
Humm...
I guess no solution until I get OS8, OS9 or OSX.
