Somehow Finder obliterates the settings for an unzipped folder, even 
if I use StuffIt and tell it to put the .DS_Stores in the archive. It 
just doesn't work the same somehow. (Plus you can't have license 
agreements in there.) Fighting Finder to script the appearance of the 
disk image is a headache on it's own; I'd rather skip the nonsense to 
try to force Finder into something it doesn't want to do at all.

Thanks for all of the responses on and off list.
