Right. Macs don't use filename extensions to map files to applications;
they use two four-character codes for creator and file-type. To make an
icon double-clickable in Executor, you need to click on it, Get Info (or
LeftAlt-I), and change the type and creator to that of a file which you
already know to be double-clickable. This is more trouble than it's worth.
Just open up StuffIt, then open up your file from the File/Open box. All
Executor File/Open boxes I know of allow you to open all files.
Perhaps it's something to do with ARDI's implementation of the ROMs? I
dunno.

I'm sure it is a mac version, not power mac.
HyperCard is pretty useless for me, so I haven't bothered finding out if it
works. What do you mean by a "Hypercard-required program"?
