Disagree. If your web-browser is configured correctly, the unstuffing
will occur automatically.
What might occurr automatically is calling Stuffit, which is rather a heap
of grave bugs than an application. Besides, there is no point of using
proprietary archive formats if there is a number of generic ones.
That, or tar or gzip it.
Either that, or, which is probably the best way for Mac OS X, dmg it.
Definitely agree with the disk image approach. Of course, for maximum
compatibility, also encode in MacBinary II.
Why, on earth?
Again, if configured correctly, the browser should automatically do the
decoding process. The user would then end up with a disk image. I've
also seen cases where the disk image is also mounted automatically.
Generally depends on your setup and particular browser's abilities. *If*
it can be set up to "open the downloaded file in standard application",
and if you don't mess up with MacBinary, it would be mounted all right.
