The Type & Creator of the one I downloaded & unstuffed came through as
'PART' & 'SIT!', respectively, so something failed during the
unstuffing process. I re-downloaded and unstuffed again and the Type
was correctly set to 'APPL', so it must've just been a fluke. Worked
fine for me under Mac OS 8.6 after that.

It's now published to

Thanks again for submitting this find!
