TOPIC
Mac OS 9 supports a new way to distribute applications, documents or libraries. A series of related files (templates, preferences or other application-specific files) can be "combined" into a folder that looks and behaves like a file.
DISCUSSION
You can identify a package file by looking at the general information pane of the Get Info window in the Finder. A package will have the word "package" in the kind field. Some examples are: document package, library package, application program package, or simply 'package'.
In most cases, the package will be treated just like it's single file equivalent. However, any software that has not been revised to work correctly with packages may show a package as a folder and you will be able to see the files inside of it.
