Well I've looked through the past three hundred or so articles here on comp.sys.mac.system and have noted a number of people asking what the heck is to be done with the .image files of system 7.0. Would somebody like to post to this group a solution to this problem? Please don't send me e-mail w/ what to do. I'd imagine there are a few other people out there who can't figure out what to do with the .image files ...

What to do with disk images-> (1) ftp diskcopy 4.2 from ftp.apple.com (130.43.2.3). It's in the directory /dts/utils as diskcopy-4-2.hqx (2) ftp the diskcopy readme from ftp.apple.com. /dts/utils/diskcopy-readme (3) read the readme, and run diskcopy. :-) hope this helps someone out there. --Helen -- Helen Trillian Rose <hrose@cs.bu.edu, hrose@cobalt.cco.caltech.edu, hrose@eff.org>

FTP back to ftp.apple.com and get diskcopy-4-2.hqx. You can use this
program to "make" the disks. It's a simple program. You read in the
.image and then copy the read image to a floppy. Note that it has
been stated by several Apple employees (and others) that this is the
way to go; do not use mountimage.

These image files can be made into disks with DiskCopy (the newest version can be found on ftp.apple.com) or the MountImage cdev (available on an ftp server near you. Don't install from image files mounted with MountImage cdev, though.

Use DiskCopy to process these image files onto individual 800K disks.
