Yeah sadly this is not quite what I need. The faculty member I'm helping is a subscriber to a specific database service. The service comes as a standalone bunch of files, with a simple text reader in the distribution that lets you browse the database manually. They used to send CD's with their monthly updates, and another IT person a long time ago wrote a MS Access program that extracted the data and consolidated it into a database on our server, so it could be used with SAS and other statistical programs. It requires a volume at a certain Drive letter to contain a specific file structure. The database service switched to downloadable zip files containing the directories that the CD used to contain..ie: not a disk image, just a bunch of files. I need to get those onto a standalone volume that can be mounted at a drive letter. I've found a windows utility that will mount an ISO image as (in this case) drive G: on the windows side, it works well. That's where I've gone to hdiutil to try and make the needed files. If I burn the .iso file to a disk it opens, and is fine in windows. This is baffling to me. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
