10.4: Create DMGs in Disk Utility via drag and drop
Or you can use the hdiutil utility from the terminal.
10.4: Create DMGs in Disk Utility via drag and drop
plus, hdiutil (and Disk Utility with a defaults hack) can use bzip2 for compression instead of zlib, eg:
Depending on what you're compressing, this can make quite a difference, but is 10.4 only.
Another nice thing about DMGs is that they can be mounted over a network, so if you just need a handful of files from an archive, you don't have to download the whole thing. For general archiving, and Mac-to-Mac copying I always use DMGs, as they are just so much more useful. For sharing with Windows, I use ZIP, or gzipped tar files. Stuffit is dead. ---
