I'm having problems installing software on my old Classic II Mac running System 7. I was trying to install a program on the mac (the install file was in the .hqx format) and I got an error that it couldn't be opened because "the application program that created it could not be found." So, I tried the installer in the .bin format and got the same message. Does anyone know how I can remedy this problem?

Both these formats have to be unstuffed
using Stuffit.

You can download Stuffit Expander here;

The version on that page may not work on
your machine. You can also try
MIndExpander on the same page.
