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.
Do the apps have a file called README? What's it say? What are the apps called, are they posted on the Web? While we may be knowledgeable, I doubt any of us are psychic. There is no generic solution to this problem...
We need a heckuva lot more information, otherwise you've got no choice but to go learn Unix. I recommend "Learning Unix for Mac OS X" by O'Reilly...
