Correct, it contains lrzsz compiled for Mac OS X.  With minor editing 
the script contained in the package (Contents/Resources/lctool.pl) would 
probably also work on linux if you make sure Time::HiRes and lrzsz are 
installed, and maybe even on Windows if lrzsz works there at all.

I still have making the script work on app platforms (by removing the 
dependency on lrzsz) on my "To Do" list, but many many things have a 
much higher priority right now.
