I was surprised to see an OSX screen effect on the Sabena Airlines website and downloaded it.
It's a .sea file and deposited itself on my desktop with just a generic white icon. I double clicked it and it asked which application I'd like to open it with. I chose Stuffit Expander. The SE icon bounced twice in the dock, then disappeared.
Any other apps I might already have that can open a .sea file?
Thx.

sea is a (stuffit) self extracting archive. It's probbaly a classic app, but with OSX's new dependancy on '.' suffex files it thinks it's a file not an app. delete the .SEA part and it may open and decompress in Classic.
You could also try replacing the .SEA with .Sit and try opening it in Stuffit expander.

It sounds likely that you have a bad download if stuffit is unable to extract it.

Dragging an sea file onto Stuffit will expand it - it just ignores the executable part. More than likely the download was corrupted.
Was it binhexed as well? I don't think .sea files can be downloaded without binhexing them.
BTW, I just downloaded and expanded it on Windows and got no complaint from Stuffit.
EDIT: Although the extracted file looks weird - I got a single directory named 'OSX' and three files in that directory: 'SNBA1', SNBA2' and 'SNBA3'.

Must be a bad download, although I've now tried it twice, on different days. I tried removing the .sea from the file, with no luck. I also tried opening Stuffit Expander first, and dragging the file to the application. Still, no dice.
Since you opened the file in Windows, with no problem, is this even worth my time. Is it a good screen saver/effect?
Thx again, guys!

I haven't actually seen it yet - I am still at work. I just wanted to make sure the archive was valid.
