open an application/octet-stream

[TanuKi Beard]

Can someone please tell me how to open an application/octet-stream file?

[TanuKi Beard]

The file is an installer, how can I open it? What should I put as extension.?

for OS X?

maybe try .DMG ? if that doesn't work, try .ZIP :p

it's the most common formats there...

I think it's an .app file...it's able to open, but it says something about classic OS 9....damn....

[Menge]

you shouldn't be able to download an .APP file from the internet, since a .APP file is basically a folder.

So, what do you think the extension is?

Can you give me a list of extension I can try out on my mac?
