I was offering my own time. I've found them helpful for two reasons: - They can be reliably opened. I used to distribute my app as a zip archive, but for some reason some of my users tried to use old versions of Stuffit Expander instead of the built in BOMHelper to unpack them, resulting in an unusable application. I've had no such complaints since switching to .dmg files (yet; I suppose some user, somewhere, has figured out how to mis-open dmg files). - Convenient for the user: no disk clutter and need to discard the unpacked package when finished. Just eject. But Bob already said he doesn't want it, and py2app is his baby, so I am content to drop it. -- Russell _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
