ZIP files open in both OS 9 (with the free Stuffit Expander installed) or OS X (expansion built-in to the OS). If the recipient has neither Office nor AppleWorks, you are stuck with a text file, or in the case of a database/spreadsheet, a tab-delimited text file. Ask your recipient first what software they want to open it in. Macs are pretty flexible about formats, but don't send it in an OpenOffice native format unless your recipient also has OOo or NeoOffice installed. In any case, it should be compressed in ZIP format after saving in the format that they will ultimately open it in. On the off-chance that you have Stuffit Standard for Windows installed, it can compress files in SIT format, which is good for OS 9 users and those who have Stuffit Expander installed on OS X. ZIP files require Stuffit in OS 9, but open natively in OS X.
