Not really.  Self-extracting executables are binaries that will function
only on one specific platform.  Macintosh .sea files will not run under
Unix, NeXT, and Windows.  Windows self extracting archive .exe files
won't run on Macintosh, Unix, and NeXT.  Unix shell archives won't run
on Macintosh and Windows.
