Also Stuffit Deluxe has been availble for two or three years now for the PC platform and has had zip compatibilty built in for about 5 or 6 years now. I don't know whether MagicMenu works on the PC but if turned on on Mac platform (panther and above) all you have to do is delete the ".zip" from the end of the file and the file decompresses. (as well as the compression types it handles as well as; tar, gzip, and so on).

Rich,

Allume Systems now do Stuffit products and you can get Stuffit 8.x which works under OSX

Go to: http://www.allume.com/mac/index.html

The zip archives that you can create on OSX will work on WIN !

Are these raw FM files which you are compressing or are they runtimes - If runtimes then don't forget that you need to bind each platform separately ?

Does anyone know of a self-contained zip/expander that will work across Mac OS X and Windows XP platforms?
I've created a cross-platform solution and need to transfer large files between both.
Stuffit seems to work on PCs as well as Macs. Trouble is: the only Mac version I can find is an updater from pre-OS X versions; this requires a 'Classic' version of the Mac OS that I don't have.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Regards,
Rich
