That's why I said: "If you can require a sufficiently recent MacOS X version".
In addition, I thought this was Cocoa-Dev? How many Cocoa apps these
days actually still make use of the resource fork? Keep in mind that
Apple even recommends you don't put any data in resource forks that
you can't re-generate. So, if you're adhering to the current
guidelines, this shouldn't be a problem.
so you have to depend on the user using a new version or using the
built-in expanding. In my experience, a .dmg is the way to go; it
also provides for a more intuitive experience (you can include a
message like "To install, drag this to your Applications folder" or
whatever).
Well, I personally don't care much for disk images anymore. It feels
kind of un-intuitive to me to download a file and get a new disk on
your desktop. But yeah, if you need to 10.0 or 10.1, and you include
resource forks, or you somehow need the additional design gizmos you
can do in a DMG, use that.
