Supposedly the Linux package MacUtil (
http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/opensuse/11.1/ppc/ppc/macutils-2.0b3-153.22.ppc.html)
can unpack DiskDoubler files. I haven't used it.

[CODE4LIB] disk doubler anyone?

[Miles Fidelman]

I figure someone here might know how to retrieve a file in an ancient 
format.  Anybody know of a tool that will uncompress a file compressed 
with disk doubler, that doesn't require dredging up an old Mac running 
OS 9 (or trying to emulate one?).


Thanks very much,

Miles Fidelman
