cgi files

Can someone help a mac newbie. I have downloaded a Eudora's Palm mail program, listed on their site http://www.eudora.com/internetsuite/download/ as EIS 2.1.sit. It downloads however as export4.cgi and my Mac thinks it's a Word file. What do I have to do with it to unpack and install it?

I never thought of that and it seems to have worked. Stuffit unpacked the file and I am just about to try the install via hotsync. I'll let you know.

This is a common problem with OSX...

and Stuffit auto-expanding (I think)... plus sometimes it gets stuck with the .php suffix.

Just amend the suffix (as long as you remember/find out what the correct one is (normally .zip for me).

Yeah, it's an annoying bug in a few Mac browsers where the file gets a wrong name. Fortunately you can rename the files.
