Hi,

The Land of MacIntosh is not my home, as I'm an Amigan. So, please
excuse my ignorance. I often have cause to use a MacII, and I recently
downloaded and un-binhex'd an application (at least I think it's supposed
to be an application). The problem is that the Finder refuses to
execute it, because it thinks it's a document (so says GetInfo).
I get the application-busy-or-missing message. How can I convince the
Finder that this thing is indeed an application? BTW, I'm using
BinHex5.

If you can straighten me out, please send e-mail. I don't normally
read this group. Thanks.
