Yes, the problem is a resource fork.
Pre-OSX macs had a method of storing files that was incompatible with the entire rest of the universe. When you copy the file onto any PC formatted media, you get an incomplete file with the resource forks amputated. Alladin Expander can archive files in a manner that preserves resource forks, but a PC won't have any idea how to use them, and Alladin Expander isn't going to create brand
new resource forks for Windows files that never had them. An OSX mac
can understand resource forks, so you can see and modify the missing data that got stripped out whenever you took it to a PC, or zipped it, or whatever.
Modern macs have a less obnoxious way of handling resource forks so they don't get so easily lost.

These resource forks probably don't do anything but tell the mac that it's an ABIF file. If it will let you type in the file name manually, you may still be able to load an ABIF file without the resource forks. Have you tried?
