If I have a compressed file that's stored as a self-extracting archive for Windows, i.e., a .exe file, is it possible to convert it to a zip file that can be unzipped under OS X? Alternatively, is there Mac program that can open one of these archives?

The command line unzip in the terminal should be able to do it (it will report that it skips bytes at the beginning but should work fine otherwise).

List files: unzip -v windowsfile.exe

Extract: unzip windowsfile.exe

The Unarchiver supports this, and is an all round great extraction utility.
