Hi all. I use System 7.0.1 on MiniVMac emulator. But I can't install software from .sea.hqx,.sit or .bin files,only from .dsk. files. So,when I put one of the type of these files on System 7.0.1,I see this message http://www.ipix.lt/images/84506304.jpg  .I know that hqx or sit files are archives,but how to extract it? Sorry for mistakes, I'm not good in English.

I have never used that emulator so I can only guess here. From the graphic you have posted, it would appear that you are not even getting to the "I don't recognize what application to use" stage. Instead, it is saying this is a disk in a foreign file format. We can't use it at all. Would you like us to initialize it for Mac use. The program that does the decompression is Stuffit Expander. It natively handles .sit and .sea files. It has translators for various others depending on what version you are using. It has been available for pretty much all mac operating systems and may already be sitting in your emulator once you get it to actually recognize the files. I do not know how you get other files into it. You may want to find Stuffit expander for your particular operating system if it is available and decompress the files there and then move them into the emulator. Just some thoughts

If you don't already have it, download stuffit for your real machine. Extract the files and place them onto a disk image, then mount the disk in your 7.0.1 virtual machine. I believe this is how I did it.

Thanks for the info for all. Well,I downloaded Stuffit Expander version 5.0 for Windows (yes, it's really old version,but this is the only version, which I found for free). So, I download, for example this .sit file: http://a.monte.club.fr/Grenier_du_mac/softs_mac/powerpt11.sit When I download it, I expand it, and I see three files: http://www.ipix.lt/images/65234886.jpg . Question is the same: How to mount it to Mac OS?

You're not going to be able to move Applications from Windows to Mac OS. You must unstuff them on Mac OS in order for them to work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_fork#Other_operating_systems

There is a slick set of tools written by the mini vmac author to move files. You just mount the receive file tool disk image and run the utility. It then waits for a file to be dropped onto the window and saves it into the mac file system instead of trying to mount it. With it you can move over a .hqx for use with stuffit. The trick is getting stufffit expander onto the virtual mac. I don't remember if the vmacboot.dsk has it, but in general it is not too hard to find a disk image with stuffit or another tool that will help you bootstrap. I use mini vmac on my machines and it is very convenient. You can also use Basilisk II for better 68K emulation or Sheep Shaver for PPC. I run 7.6.1 on Sheep Shaver and it works really well for the basic stuff I use it for like disk image and file manipulation. Still I love having a tiny stable Mac Plus emulator mini vmac is still my favorite.

I've installed Stuffit Expander 4.0.1,but there's a new problem: Stuffit Expander can't found archives. For example, I've a .sit archive and I want to expand it, but Stuffit Expander can't found this archive: http://www.ipix.lt/images/12053482.jpg .

Maybe you should install Stuffit 4.5 instead. http://forums.info-mac.org/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=9155

Interesting... perhaps I have to change something at Info-Mac then.
