You may need to set file mappings in Internet Config. When you bring in
Wintel files, they've been dumbed down--no type and creator codes, so
filename extensions are the only way to identify their application. If
the mapping has not been defined or has been mapped to a non-existent
application, that might be the cause of the error message you get.

Alternatively, just drag and drop them onto Stuffit Expander.
