Not sure what's up on Windows, but if they don't have the proper Mac icon
then the problem is a "feature" of the Mac OS in which files from other
systems do not have the Mac-specific "Finder info" they need for a file to
be associated with an application.
On the upside, Mac OS also provides AppleScript, and you can compile the
following into a droplet and just drop your downloaded MC files onto it:
on open theList
tell application "Finder"
set selectionLength to number of items of selection
if selectionLength = 0 then
say "Nothing is [[emph +]] selected."
else
-- first change all the files selected
set the creator type of every file of selection to "MCRD"
set the file type of every file of selection to "MSTK"
end if
end tell
end open
You can also set this information using ResEdit's "Get File Info" command in
its File menu.
