apologies for slight off-topic Q -- i have two new OSX apps that were
exported from older programs written to run on UNIX mainframes. they
were a little lazy, and the apps do not have an installer. you have
to copy the files manually, and then write a shell script before they
will run under OSX transparently.

Heh. You're telling the mechanic you're car's making a funny sound...
but you're not even telling him if you mean funny "ha ha" or funny
"sheesh". :)
What are the apps? What do you need from them?
There's no "cookbook" for this, it depends on what they're missing. You
might be able to just use a canned wrapper app like Platypus, or you
might need a custom script, it all depends on what transparency you're
expecting that's not there.
