The 0 byte files should be remnants of Unix symbolic links.  The links are
generic names and the real files are the files with the specific version
numbers included.  I think the names may be garbled as well because the
CD-ROM is probably Rock Ridge format and MacOS only understands the ISO
9660 subset of that format.  For example Installer 1.11.3.sea.hqx may
render as INSTALL.HQX or INSTALL.3 or something weird.

Try looking in the same directory for non-zero-length files and feed them
to StuffIt and see if you get something reasonable.

As other people said, you need 3 MacOS programs:  Installer, Booter, and
MKFS.  Good Luck!
