How do I use ISO files in Basilisk II build 142?

edited July 2012 in Site Issues
Okay, I have a second question. The reason I actually post on this site.

I saw that there was StuffIt Deluxe 4.5 for download. This was heaven for me. A full version of StuffIt (not Expander) avaible, legally! Legally meaning a full, pay-for program for free and yet legally. Usually you can't get full versions of programs if they cost legally for free. StuffIt Deluxe would be useful for me to compress files. In Basilisk II (a Macintosh emulator). I use System 7.5.5 there.

I saw they were compressed with 7zip. I didn't have that. No problem, I just installed it.

But then came a another problem: StuffIt Deluxe 4.5.iso is the only file in the archive!

I don't know how to use ISOs except that you can burn them to a DVD to install a Windows version from it.

Otherwise, I have no idea on how to use ISOs.

Worse, Basilisk II- because it's just a Macintosh emulator that lets you use System/ Mac OS Macintosh operating systems (up to 8.1), comes with zero support for ISO files. That is, System .7.5.5 shows the file as a blank white paper for it's icon. If ISOs can be used in System 7.5.5 anyway, there must be some program to do it.

How do I use ISO files in Basilisk II build 142 anyway?

I'm asking here because WinWorld supplies StuffIt Deluxe 4.5 in that format; therefore they must know how I can use it.

I tried UltraISO. It says it can extract files from ISOs. I installed it for that reason. It opens the file just fine, and says its format is HFS. However, the file size of Install StuffIt Deluxe 4.5 is 2,247 KB. If I try to extract it with UltraISO the file size is suddenly 2,028 KB.. Trying to open Install StuffIt Deluxe 4.5 in System 7.5.5 tells me that the file couldn't be opened because the application that created it couldn't be found.
