Can't run OS 9applications. They are considered as Unix applications.

Hi,
I transferred several applications from my former mac running with OS 9 to my last one (PPC, 10.4). For most of them there was no problem. But Tiger considers some of them as Unix applications and won't run them. They appear with a terminal icon, when I try to run them I'm requested to choose an application to open them, and so on. How can I tell Tiger that these application are to be opened with OS9?
Thanks.

First thing to try: select th program, command-i to get info: find the check box (if it's there) that says 'Open in Classic' or words to that effect and check it. Incidentally I should have Classic Environment running when you try to open them rather than relying on them to open it.
