SMI files are Self Mounting Image files. If it's a .bin or .hqx you first have to decode it. Stuffit Expander can do that. What are you trying to open, where did it come from and did you download it on a Mac or PC? If the file where you downloaded it didn't have a .bin or .hqx extention, chances are it lost the resource fork. If it did you'll never get an .smi open. Far as I know, nobody has ever written a Disk Copy image file repair utility to re-create lost resource forks. If it's an .smi or a compressed .img, forget it, it's kaput without the resource fork. There are Linux and DOS and Windows utilities that can write uncompressed Disk Copy images to floppies and CD-R. RAWRITE works for floppy disk images and Nero Burning ROM can burn bigger ones in standard HFS to CD. ===== "You never have to repair or replace what you leave out of the design."
