Create Windows-compatible zip files via AppleScript
Authored by: haighy on Sep 12, '05 07:14:09PM
To eliminate the "MacOS X" folders you mentioned, you could try deleting the resource forks before zipping. The contextual menu plugin Grim Ripper makes it extremely easy. Be careful though; for certain files (particularly older ones, from pre OS X apps for example) you might lose crucial information, even making them unopenable. Best to make a backup if you're unsure.
