Aside from the terrible security problems with such a situation...
downloading doesn't set the executable bit... so double
clicking on it won't really help you.. it'll load into TextEdit.
This might (might) be something that could be horked through via
JavaScript in a downloader... but I'm not sure..
On Mac OS X Server it shipped on the Third Party Solutions
CD (under the P & L folderf).. but I've been unable to get anyone to
include it with the default install like OmniWeb is. Its not
considered an important enough application to go through the
paperwork.
I imagine that in the Mac OS X world apps like OpenUp will
be pushed aside by the proprietary StuffIt solution (barf)..
Talk about your monopoly..
