What is the recommended way to compress/encode Cocoa applications for distribution on the net?
If I use DropStuff, the application won't run after expanding.
Same with Zip, if the StuffIt Expander is used to unzip it.
.tar.gz works, but is not exactly user-friendly if they don't have OpenUp.
I don't really want to create a disk image for a stand-alone application.

Well, the latest dropstuff (6.0) compressed a program and the latest stuffit expander (6.0) opened it just fine.
Additionally, stuffit 6 can open tar.gz files without corrupting them.
