Perhaps one of us is asking the wrong question... likely everyone involved is missing the intent of everyone else's statements.
I interpret your statement as: Control-click and show package contents on Dominions2.app on the CD. (beat left here as I do this...) (feel free to re-interpret as was actually intended...)


It isn't a package! The dominions2.app patch is a package but without the relevant file when I show package contents on it . I'll say this again: The dominions2.app on my CD _is not a package_. It may should have been but it just isn't. It could be a misprint of the CD but then wouldn't there be other errors? And even if I do get this file by ... other means will there be something else needed and not present?
(At this point something inexplicable happens that voids that whole above paragraph...)(post evolving in real time as I'm Actually Doing Things that are being typed...)(As in: the previous part of the post was on build when what happened next... happened. I type the way I speak, and since I'd already "said" the above, I can't take it back...)
(cue theremin AGAIN)
Wait, hold everything! I accidentally COMMAND-clicked and THEN control-clicked and now I get a package contents prompt! And a guiborder2.tga!
Which the unix executable STILL can't open! At least no longer because of its (non-Sudden) Massive Existence Failure...
I don't know what possessed me to try that maneuver... Unfortunately this just means the mystery is a bit deeper... since .tga files are just images ... Now what am I doing wrong? I have the file that couldn't be opened, and it still can't be opened.
Edit was the third parenthetical in the middle section and a few wording changes
