sorry 4 d stupid question, im a new mac user. i have downloaded an app of the internet and am trying to install it. It has a .pl extension and when i double click on it, it opens up mac:word. i remember having used a mac a long time age and needing an app called &quot;stufit&quot; to be able to install other apps. Do i still need some third party software to install apps on osx 10.3? or am i just totally off track?

Mac OS X

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
