I'm wanting to move away from DMGs to ZIP delivery.  As part of this
move I'd like to have my app, SousChef, prompt the user on first run
to move itself to /Applications (or ~/Applications as appropriate).
In a short search I can't find any code examples hanging about to do
something like this.  Would anyone mind sharing ideas/code on how to
do this?

If your application *needs* to run from /Applications, then I'd say:
1. You really need to revisit whatever aspect of your implementation is requiring that.
2. You should use an installer package, which is Apple's general recommendation for software distribution now anyway.


If your application doesn't need to run from /Applications, then don't worry about it.
