Worth looking at - I haven't, the solution I came up with at the moment with the person who needed this was to put the file on their web home and download it via a web browser.

Hmm, I bet if I extracted them on my Mac I could play them on my Mac. I'll give that a try next time I am there.

Mac OS X has what are called bundles, (.app files themselves for executable applications are bundles), and Apple did a little bit more trickery with hiding certain files from the Finder's view in OS X, but in OS X, you can inspect a bundle by right-clicking on it and saying "open package contents." Late versions of OS 9 (think 9.1 and 9.2.x) also supported bundles to some extent, apparently to support dual-binary Carbon-based applications (I made up a bundled version of Classilla that worked and appeared as a single .app on OS 9, so I know for a fact that this is a thing). Perhaps it's an undocumented side effect of having CarbonLib installed?
And OS 9, in my experience, does seem to support invisible folders to some extent, though perhaps not as well or as completely as it does invisible files.
