Does Anyone know where I can get a hold of a public domain program which will allow me to put Disk IMAGES on a hard disk, and then make floppies out of them later? I want to put the Sys7 disk images on a hard drive in this computer store I work for, so people can just bring in their disk and run this package to install the images, It would save a lot of time. -Raman Sarin

Oh, yes. Apple's DiskCopy 4.1 is just what you want. Try ftp'ing to apple.com, and look in pub/dts/mac/software.license. It's brobably a binhex'd file. Hey, APPLE? I'm looking for a HyperCard XCMD that will make disks from images, and make images from disks -- one out there??? Steve Klingsporn

I want to put the Sys7 disk images on a hard drive ... Apple DiskCopy does this fine. One fine point: in order to to read in the HD disk images under Multifinder, I found that it was necessary to allocate more memory to DiskCopy than it's default setting. I didn't experiment, it just seemed reasonable that the partition should be larger that 1.4 meg. Once this change is made in the "Get Info" window for DiskCopy, it will function perfectly as a System 7 mass diskette duplicator. Bill (johnston@minnie.me.udel.edu)

MountImage 1.2B1 is a great way of utilizing these disk images-- it allows you to mount them as if they were real disks. -- Matthew T.
