The problem is that the file type is set incorrectly on the Mac. There
are two ways you can fix this. 1) Get some Mac software that will let you
fix the file type. 2) Don't un-Binhex the file before you transfer it to
the Mac. Un-Binhex it only after t is on the Mac. Of course you will
have to get Binhex or some other software to un-Binhex  it on the Mac. I
suggest you follow option 2. Just about any Mac users should have
Binhex or something similar and can give it to you.
