compress/decompress on OS X

[RGould8 at aol.com]

This is a great utility for non-application Mac OS X files.   However, I'm 
finding that if I try to compress an application and then decompress an 
application in Mac OS X, the decompressed file no longer works.   

I think I'm going to try putting a .DMG file on an HTTP server and see if I 
can revolution to download it, mount it, copy files from it, and then unmount 
it.   Anyone even tried that with Revolution?   It still seems like a lot of 
work just to get a Mac OS X application downloaded from the internet via Rev.   
Surely someone else has run across this issue?   (Trying to get an OS X 
application downloaded while preserving it's resource-forks)   How does Fetch do 
this?
