Re: Install shield

You can also use simple old WinZip on the PC, you know.  With a registered
copy, you can create self-extracting archives.

You'll definitely need Aladdin's STuff-It for the Mac, though.  There aren't
any programs which will work on both PC and Mac to extract stuff, except
Stuff-It, and I don't think their self-extractables work on both platforms
either.
