you gotta admire the common practice of distributing Mac software in .dmg files. tar and ZIP suck in various ways, they're bad filesystems. why not ship your software in a good filesystem? and so, Mac software is shipped inside a tiny Mac filesystem (HFS+ or, these days, APFS)

@whitequark come to think of it, touchHLE's handling of IPAs (ZIP files) is like this, and Android does the same thing with APKs

@hikari @whitequark I learned recently that Android has API to dlopen directly from an APK without decompressing it
