I'm trying to get Sweet16 up and running. The disks for System 6 have been downloaded but are in SEA format. My B/W G4 has no floppy drives and Sweet16 does not like SEA.
Any ideas for converting them to a format that it would like?

What about Stuffit Expander?

A .sea file AFAIK is a basically a StuffIt-compressed archive with the expander built in. It is a Self-Extracting Archive so should expand when you double-click on it, though this will require Classic if you run OS X. It should still show up as an application. If it doens't, it's most likely damaged, although StuffIt Expander might still be able to expand it.
A .dmg file is a disk image. That's a whole different kettle of fish. You're not going to be able to 'convert' from a compressed archive to a disk image - you can obviously make a disk image, expand the archive and copy the files to the disk image, but convert? No.
At least, that's unless I'm completely misunderstanding your answer - and I must admit I'm likely to be, since I don't have a clue what Sweet16 is and why it needs to like the .sea files.

Sweet16 is an Apple IIgs emulator that was originally a BEos derivative of Bernie ][ The Rescue. It uses disk images instead of actual floppy disks.
I was trying to get it where the emulator could use the disk files I downloaded from Apple.
Extracting the SEA files helped and System 6.0.1 is installed. Now to figure out how to run some of these games. 🙂
