i hate to reply to my own post - but for the sanity of other users there is a mention in the FAQs about .bz2 file formats. They advise to simply change the extension to a plain .dmg and you should be able to decompress and mount from there. It worked for me and I am up and running. I still dont understand why BTree would publsih under an arcane format that has a world of threads on its own === anyone >?
