First off, "Carbon" is mostly orthogonal to the packaging. You can
create a Carbon bundled application, or even a single-file Cocoa one
(though that's more of an academic exercise). Second, it's not true
that there's no plist -- I forgot about this case when I claimed that
single-file applications were immune to the problem.
Because there's a bunch of information that can only be readily
specified with an Info.plist, Apple defined a way to include one in a
single-file application for those folks who weren't ready to re-package
their application as a bundle. Look for a 'plst'(0) resource.
Entourage has one, and you'll find the following in it:
<key>CFBundleName</key>
<string>Entourage</string>
Incidentally, the system doesn't decide when a name is "too long" --
it's up to the application writer to supply one, and the system will
use it if it's there. (The HI Guidelines encourage the use of a "short
name" if the full name seems too long.)
