This is completely normal. MacOS X applications are actually special directory (folder) structures called bundles. The actual executable is a UNIX executable file inside the application bundle.
I noticed this after the 10.5.3 upgrade. Inside the applications folder there is an invisible file (no icon) labeled Applications Folder. Get Info reveals it to be a unix executable file. I'm a newbie, and not sure what it means. Thanks ahead of time for any help.
I have an iMac, 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM

Many thanks! I was worried that something was wrong.
My brother has an identical system, but has no such visible icon-less unix executable file in his applications folder. Weird.
