Question opening programs

Same mac as previous thread.

I have problems installing programs on the mac. I think it is to do with the extension(?)

Is there a free program I can get to change the file extension??

Many thanks

Re: opening programs

Can't you just change the extension by typing it in...

I just downloaded a program that wasn't working because someone forgot to add an extension so it downloaded as application.html.

I renamed it application.dmg and it worked fine.
