Yo, Net!! I just FTP'd 6.0.7, debinhexed it, unstuffed it, and now i am stuck with four files that have a .image suffix attached to 'em. The file type and creator I'm not familiar with. Question: What do I do with these image files?????? J Parker

BTW, I think it is a very good program. -- == Harri Valkama, University of Vaasa, Finland ================================ P.O.

From apple.com, you need to ftp a file called: diskcopy-4-1.hqx This will un-binhex into an application that will read in these image files and write them to floppies, creating exact duplicates of the Apple distribution disks. I understand that this program is used at the Apple factory to duplicate the actual distribution disks. chaz -- British Brain Boffs Produce Spiritual Devoted Shark Girl. clarson@ux.acs.umn.edu AOL:Crowbone

It copies the images onto your diskette. Note that it also formats the diskette, so you don't have to insert a previously formatted diskette. If you're going to load 1.44mb images, you'll need to do a cmd-i to set the multifinder partition to > 1440 (I use 1500).
