This is very strange.  I recently upgraded from CWPro 6 to 7, and Mac OS 
X seems to think my executable has turned into a ResEdit file.  If I 
double-click on it from the Finder, it opens up in ResEdit to reveal the 
resources contained therein (it's a single-file Carbonized app).  I can 
still launch it from within CodeWarrior without a problem.

The previously compiled version I made with CWPro6 still launches 
correctly.  If I Show Info on the file, it is identified correctly as an 
Application.  Somewhere in the bowels of OS X there must be a database 
of what files belong to which applications, and I think maybe mine got 
corrupted somehow.  Any idea how I might fix this?
