Still converting Win app to Mac projector - how do I pack all of the files? like a setup.exe

I have been working on converting one my educational apps over to Mac because so many students are requiring it now. Still having trouble getting some check boxes to line up properly and have lost the sound, but I am more concerned right now figuring out how to create the equivalent of a setup.exe.  If I could just compress the projector.osx file along with the other .dcrs I think that could work.  Students could just download my compressed file into a folder in their Applications folder, uncompress my file , and then just click on the .osx to start the app.  I am not very familiar with Mac software so if there is an equivalent to winzip or an open source program like the one I use to create setup.exes that would be great. I think there is an hqx way of doing it, but I don't know how to create an hqx  Please advise - thanks!

I have been able to borrow a Mac from my school, but am not familiar with the developer tools or disk utility. The developer tools for PackageMaker are not installed, so I'd like to try the dmg route before traveling all the way back there. Let's just say that I have all of the files I need in one folder I created within the Applications folder and I just want to put all of those files in one dmg file.  How would I do that?  I see disk utility ruuning in Finder Services, but it just says create a checksum.  Is that it or is disk utility somewhere else? [I have been researching this and just found it in Applications: Utilities.  I am creating a new image now and hope the dmg works. I have not figured out my second question howver about the shortcut]
Also, let's say that the dmg will include several dcr files and my launchapp.osx file.  How do I create that shortcut to the launchapp.osx file so students will know how to easy launch the app?
Please help with question 2, thanks.
