To ensure that some idiot does not try to run the program directly 
off the CD.  All of my programs write to themselves, or to files 
within the program's folder.  And they do this frequently.  I would 
have to rewrite the whole program to let it be run off a CD.  Much 
easier to build a mousetrap.

As for built-in MC compressors... better to put the file in a format 
that most are familiar with.  Such as .sit, .hqx files.  Especially 
if there is a chance they may want to actually upload the file 
somewhere.  Here it is, already perfectly packaged :-)
