These files are type HQX, which is a BinHex 4.0 file. After you download it and copy it to your Macintosh, decode it with BinHex 4.0 (or another utility that understands BinHex 4 format such as Stuffit or CompactPro). Decoding converts the text-format .hqx file into a binary-format compressed .sea file. To extract the contents of the file, double-click the .sea icon.
