Assuming this works, maybe our good friend (and download curator) Bruce
O'Neel might be able to do this?  (Does setting the file type to something
other than 'TEXT' actually prevent this problem?)  Bruce? :-}

Of course, some sort of automatic Squeak-based check would be even better
(as Les suggested), but at least short-term, fixing the file type in the
Mac download would be easy.

Ultimately, I think this is mostly Squeak's problem, and we should do
something about it one way or the other... downloading & starting Squeak
should be a worry-free operation.  (People will download Squeak before
they ever sign up for this list, or check the Swiki, so the fix needs to
be at the source...)
