I remember one of these methods has worked for me in the past.
I know putting it in a zip file doesn't work or alteast it didn't... I tried it. Rar archiving it probably will work. Not everybody is willing to get a rar archiver (like WinRar) to use my programs though. I know changing the extension works, too. But then you have to tell the receiver to change it back, and nine times out of ten, my receiver doesn't even know what file extension is, and/or known file extensions are hidden on their computer (usually they use Windows).

I'd just say screw it and upload it to wikiuploads or a similar site.
