Ok just confirmed that the above does work... when I clicked on download of
the .sea.bin file it of course asks where I want to save it, I changed the
name to .sea.bin.txt then put it on a mac floppy moved it over and renamed
it on the mac machine.. :)
Thanks for the tip you really saved me a tonne of time having my friend
bring his powerbook over which is already painfull slow running system 8.6
:)
