I don't think this is for GNUStep to support, but for (a utility running on) the underlying operating system. UDRW is just a raw disk image and there are existing easy ways to attach them to device files and/or mount them on Linux, FreeBSD, etc. (e.g. mount -o loop on Linux is one way). Most other modern Apple disk image formats are of the form <data>, followed by some XML, followed by 512 bytes of metadata, e.g. <data> is: - UDRO: raw disk image as for UDRW - so should be mountable/attachable in the same way as a UDRW - UDBZ: raw disk image compressed with bzip2 (the entire disk image is compressed as a whole) etc. I don't know if there is support to attach such files / loop mount such files on Linux etc. at present. I can't imagine it would be hard to do, though. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
