I know the defacto compression program on Macs is Stuffit. Is there anything else available to send compressed files to Windoze users? ...or can you use Stuffit to do this?

I think that if you use the "archive" feature, it will create a "zip" file that can be opened by Windows users. In OS 10.3.9 (which I use) you highlight the file then go file->"create archive of [file or folder name}". You can easily email the new zip file. Not sure if it changed in Tiger--or if I'm correct that the zip file can open in Windows--but I do think it can.

Ok, it looks like since Panther, this is the way to go. Check the section in this article under "Compression Fractures"--it's at the bottom of the page.

(Boy, "compression fractures" seems pretty darn painful.

This link at Versiontracker shows command line tools that Apple supposedly includes with the Developers Tools:
