At BMUG, we've found that about half of Compactor self-extracting archive
files will barf under System 7. There are rumors that Compactor is being
worked on to alleviate these problems, but I can't give you an ETA on a
new version.
Incidentally, the same phenomenon occurs with Diamond self-extracting
archives (though we haven't tried enough of them to come up with a
statistically-significant incidence measure).
