  I suppose you could change their type and creator to APPL and APPL or
somesuch using resedit, or you could use Stuffit Expander(tm?) with the
expander enhancer thing, and that /should/ expand them and fix their types
for you.  also, a .cpt is not generally a self-expanding file, so changing
it's file type would not do you any good.

  Also, if you get fed up with infomagic's CD, you can download the more
current version from ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.2/mac68k/.
There are about 8 files you need to download.  I would also recommend
reading the INSTALL document, as it contains some very useful step-by-step
(ish) instructions.

Best of luck,
