Bill Goodman just released a freeware extractor for "self-extracting"
archives called DeSEA.  It was posted to comp.binaries.mac and can be
found on sumex-aim.stanford.edu edu in /info-mac/util.  It is also possible 
to extract files from the '.sea' archives using Compact Pro itself. 

I haven't noticed any problems under 7.0 with self-extracting archives 
created with Compact Pro, so it's possible that the problem is already 
fixed.  Parenthetically, the ".sea" archives are great for sending things
to people who can't figure out ".cpt", but for archival sites its really
just 7K of unnecessary bandwidth.
