Dioes the Finder have the ability to get and set properties, ie permissions? The usual thing to do in Linux, very similar base, would be to tell the user to right click in a file manager, ie in the Mac case the Finder, get properties, and change the permissions to executable. You wouldn't

On Windows, you make something executable by putting .exe at the end. Of course, if it's not a real executable, nothing will happen, and if it is a real executable, and you don't put .exe at the end, it won't execute. This actually makes it a simple matter to send someone what looks like a jpg

I meant to be more silly than sarcastic. :) It works fine the way I use it, from Mac to Windows. But it can't be denied it's not so simple if you write on Windows and wish to deploy on Mac, and that is sort of 1/2 of the common equation for x-platform deployment, isn't it? Mark (Not
