I agree with those who have said that the best way to distribute files
is in a .dmg. It's the standard, all users know what to do with them,
and it won't mangle any files or attributes.

OK, but is there any way to make a .dmg less than 550 KB? My app compresses
to 350 KB, and when I release a new version I sometimes go over my ISP's
monthly download limit of 1 GB and have to hop to different accounts.
Padding an wasted 200 KB on each one puts me over the top a lot faster.

Compressed disk images. Create the image normally, then convert it to a compressed image.

Or...

hdiutil create -imagekey zlib-level=9 -format UDZO -srcfolder <srcfolder> <outputfile>

Or that, yes. Same idea.
