even though I have no difficulty attaching a MacOS9 or Windows Standalone

folder, which is why it can't be attached there. On the Mac, it is disabled
when I try to attach it. Is there a work-around?
Cornelia, an OS X a standalone is a "bundle". It's actually a folder containing special files including a manifest, icons and an executable file. That's why it doesn't work attaching it to email: the email client is not smart enough to traverse the whole bundle attaching all the pieces.
I don't use .sit or .zip, as Klaus recommended, instead I use DMG. This is a disk image and will open up with Disk Copy.app automatically when the user double clicks on it. See Disk Copy.app or Disk Utility.app. Or use the good shareware product DropDMG.
