It wants MacBinary because Apache clobbers resource forks. I spent about an hour trying to find out why a program I was transferring from my mac to an old OS9 computer was coming out unable to run.
HyperCard, like many old Mac formats, is mostly in the resource fork.
There are also several titles that will not INSTALL under OS X unless you are logged in as an administrator. Some of them simply cry and die and tell you to login as an admin, and others prompt for an admin l/p, and then either get an error because they are doing something semi-privileged like accessing an admin write only folder (without invoking the borrowed privs, just assuming you are an admin group member), or they fail to install properly. (installer gets a generic or undecipherable error) I've even seen Apple installers fail in this way. i have seen even worse. the canon driver for our scanner (canoscan toolbox) refuses to install without being logged in as root. even though it prompts for the password it just randomly errors out.
oh and some programs will prompt for admin password even if i am logged in as root.
