Barry, Wow, I didn't know about that problem in mount image. I've been using it for a while. Also I didn't know that disk copy 4.2 would work in system 6. I never had to deal with disk images until I started grabbing software off of the web, so I never used disk copy back in the day!
On an anecdotal note, I have never had any trouble with mount image, but I've only done like 10 disks or so with it. -Bob On Mon, 27 Sep 2004 14:57:05 -0500, Barry Skidmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Nat, > > I had forgotten about the 'MountImage' control panel, so decided to do a > Google search, and found the following comments about it in an issue of > TidBITS.
