[comp.sys.mac] .image?

tang@eleazar.dartmouth.edu (Charles W. T. Tang) (07/13/90)

I'm trying to unpack a bunch of files that ends with the suffix .image.
Their icon looks like a file with a disk in it.  What application do I
need to use?  Where can I find it?  Thanks!

I beleive those are DiskCopy's files (right, gang?)  There's one in apple.com
in /pub/dts/sw.license called diskcopy-4-1.hqx, 95537 bytes (where you can get
system 6.0.5 and hopefully HyperCard 2.0 and system 7 ;'), right Apple?)  The
image is, of course, an image of a diskette so have a formatted diskette ready
when you de-image (sp?) it.

More than likely you need to get a copy of DiskCopy 4.1, since that sounds
like the culprit.  DiskCopy makes files that contains images of floppy disks
so that they can be sent around (like here) and then reconstructed somewhere
else (does this begin to sound like Star Trek?).  I don't know if or where
it's available here in the Unix world, but Apple has released it.  Maybe
someone else knows?

Yes, Steve.  Funny, it just right in front of your face!  8^)
It's in apple.com!  It's hidden down there where's the 6.0.5 stuffs are.
(For those who can't find it yet, they are in /pub/dts/sw.license directory.)

Thanks for SuperClock!, Steve.  Is 3.9 the latest, right?  Thanks again.  When
are you gonna come up with another niffy ideas and useful gadgets for us?
