I dl this file:

armyops200a-mac[1].dmg.bz2

and unstuffed it, then it'll be:

armyops200a-mac[1].dmg.1

Anyone know what the hell that is?

Anyone know what to do?

I have never used a mac with OSx before (I know you are using OSx from the bz2 file compression) but I may be able to help because OSx has the unix core. What you have there is a dmg file (OSx Disk image) which is compressed using Bz2 compression. Open up your terminal/command prompt or whatever they call it in OSx. If you have never used unix before the commands you will need to know the commands "cd" for change directory and "ls" for listing the files in the directory. Browse to where you have this file. Once you get there do a bzip2 -d armyops200a-mac[1].dmg.bz2 This should uncompress the file and turn it into a armyops200a-mac[1].dmg and you can do whatever you do to dmg files. Like I said I have never used a mac, but I *think* this should work seeing how this would be what you would do if it were a unix OS.
