Author How to create self-executable archives?

I'd like to create a .bin file which contains a .bz2 file and a shell
script that:
- copies files from the .bz2 file into the system file tree
- executes some additional commands from the shell script
Let's say my archive will have a .bin extension, I'd like to be able
to run ./filename.bin, to extract the content and execute the shell
script with no further intervention. How can I do that?
Thanks,

Oemi.
