- Well, did you FTP it as ascii? If so I think you're SOL. I believe it
- would have to be FTP'd as binary. If it was ftp'd as binary and your
- mac STILL doesn't recognize it as an application, you must use some tool
- to change the file type from whatever it is to APPL. Disk Tools does
- this, probably others. I use a Hypercard stack to change file types.

- Good Luck!
