I am using the RB Windows IDE to build for the Mac. The file it creates is a .bin file. When I open this file on a Mac it uses stuffit expander to create the application (executable) file. However, I see that most people post Mac programs in the .sit compressed file type. Do I have to copy the file from windows to a Mac, uncompress it, then recompress it to a .sit file every time, or is there an easier way?

As long as it uncompresses, we don't care. We ALL have StuffIt Expander and it can decompress and decrypt just about everything. So using a bin is fine, but it won't have as good of compression as a StuffIt file will.
