Here's another question from a novice user.  (In the beginning, everyone was
a novice, weren't they?)

No, that wasn't my question.

I find this great file, MacCompress in comp.binaries.mac.  So, I save it into
a file on my Sun, edit out the header info, use Kermit to transfer it to my
Mac, and run BinHex to convert from download to application.

But, what I have now is a 'document' that when I attempt to execute, produces
the old standard message about not finding the application necessary to open
it.

Now comes THE QUESTION. What step am I missing and/or doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Chuck
