YemuZip does as advertised; Optionally creates zip files that do not
contain extra hidden Mac OS data. A very good tool for sending files
to users of other operating systems, without them asking "What's all
this extra stuff in here?".

No longer a freeware (free trial only, or purchase), this software is
[available for more recent Mac OS's][2]. Last updated in 2016.
