If all else fails, you can just use Compact Pro to extract the files
from the archive--the program will still recognize the SEA file as one
of it's own.  You can either extract the contents and toss the SEA, or
do a 'Save As...' and save without the auto-extraction code.

I've never found a reason to put things in SEA form, what with Compact
Pro and/or Extractor readily available.
