Compressed (.hqx) file

I am trying to make a CD with Flash stand-alone (executable) projector files for both PC and Mac platforms. I have no problem with the PC file, but I have sparse experience with Mac and I thought maybe you could shed some light on the subject.

It is simple enough to create a compressed (.hqx) file for the Mac stand-alone projector. I don’t understand how to make it appear as an “application file in the Macintosh Finder” per Flash Help, Publishing > Publishing Flash documents, step 5 (note):

Note: The Windows version of Flash names a Macintosh projector file with the .hqx extension. You can create a Macintosh projector using the Windows versions of Flash, but you must use a file translator such as BinHex to make the resulting file appear as an application file in the Macintosh Finder.

I tried using WinZip to decompress the file. This worked, but the file didn’t work another users machine when he took it home to test it on his Mac. It asks him which application to open it with. I did some further research and found a utility called MacImage for Windows ($66) which is supposed to set up the and take the Flash generated .hqx “binhexed” file and automatically split it into the appropriate resource and data forks (this should solve the Mac “which application?” issue), and then burn a hybrid CD (HFS/ISO9660) - all from a PC platform. MacImage can apparently handle autoplay setup for Mac, too.

Do you know of any in-house resources (software and/or personnel) that can produce a similar result? Do you know of any potholes in the process that I should watch out for? I really appreciate any input you can offer.
