dot-file removal is one of my standard steps when creating a
cross-platform CD. From what little I can tell, I assume those files are
probably Mac resource forks that only show up on a platform that doesn't
understand them (Windows). Is that the way you guys understand them?

For me, creating simple ZIP archives on Mac systems that contain a few
files
is usually straightforward. However, I often find that when the ZIP
archives starts to contain nested subfolders, I often wind up with
invisible
.ds_store files that corrupt the archive when it comes time to
decompress on
Windows systems. The only recourse seems to be to move folders over to
Windows, delete any .ds_store files, and compress there.
Is there any Mac utility out there that allows one to poke around
inside a
ZIP archive to delete these extraneous .ds_store files? Or even better,
some way to tell Stuffit to ignore/delete these files in the first place?
Or one step better, a way to tell the OS not to pollute transferred
directories with that OS-specific crap?
It wreaks havoc with all but a few MP3 players, and really should be
something the user can control.
