Are you certain that your type/creator and bundle bits (package) are
being set correctly?

I used to maintain a product like this. Open the package (control-click,
show package contents) and double-click the alias file inside. If that
works, "unpackage" it (copy everything out), or turn off the CW Packager and
it will put your program in a normal folder.

If you have a single binary program that's not Mach-O, there's no reason to
bother with a package. All they're good for is hiding extra files
(resources, etc) in one place and protecting them from casual users.
