Just drop the file onto Stuffit Expander. Before installing, move your BiaB folder to the root of your hard disk (see below messages about BiaB 's 'stupid' installer). After installing, you can safely move it back to your Applications folder.

Thanks, but stuffit expander was the very first thing I tried. Then I tried the main archive manager; then I tried several third party expanders; then I opened the file in Resorcerer, and see that the header is "Joy!peffpwpc" instead of "StuffIt!" as it's supposed to be. Whatever it is, it is not a stuffed file!

From Wikipedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_Executable_Format>, the file is a Preferred_Executable_Format, and neither stuffed, nor otherwise compressed (apparently.)

That said, it should execute when ".app" becomes the suffix. It does not... well, it tries to launch Classic... so the OS does not think this is an OS X app, either.

What a mess...

Well, whatever they Stuffed this with apparently didn't work properly. The latest vers. 11.0.01 of Stuffit just chokes.

That said, if you visit their site, through the link in the listing above, you'll see that there is also a .zip version available.

That one -did- unzip properly.
