OSX knows that the file is a Mach-O executable

sh-3.2$ file Alfresco-Community-3.2-MacOS-X-Install
Alfresco-Community-3.2-MacOS-X-Install: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
Alfresco-Community-3.2-MacOS-X-Install (for architecture ppc): Mach-O executable ppc
Alfresco-Community-3.2-MacOS-X-Install (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386

My OS is 10.6.1, Snow Leopard.
