Another suggestion, since no one has mentioned this- the best (IMO) compression program on the Macintosh is Stuffit. http://www.aladdinsys.com/products/stuffit/index.html It can create self-extracting files (.exe) to send to a PC, and I'm pretty sure that it can create zip files (but I would have to check at home.)

I just used it yesterday to uncompress a UNIX tar file on my Macintosh at home. It's a very common program so someone around the office might have it on their machine. Unfortunately the freeware version only decompresses files.
