I suppose you have an old copy of MetaCard?

Yes, exactly.
Actually OS X applications ARE folders in disguise :-)
They do have a (hidden) suffix .app and thus appear as a single file in 
the Finder...

So you must copy this file from within the bundle:

Revolution.app/Contents/MacOS/Revolution

to this file in the other bundle:

MetaCard.app/Contents/MacOS/MetaCard
