[question] .dmg Conversions

Is it possible to convert .dmg format icons to windows by changing the names like one does with .rsrc format or .hqx format??? Or is the .dmg format the way they use to prevent Windows users???

Not a chance .dmg's are like a cd images.

Right. ICNSs and RSCs are icons, and HQX is a compression format that Stuffit supports.

.dmg extension is for an apple specific version of an .iso disk image.

It is not an icon format at all.

not really as much as an iso, but somewhat

its mainly used to mount emulated disks to your com, you dont need to burn it or anything

A much better way of doing things IMHO. burning an .iso only to then put the CD back in and run the program (on windows) which will install slower due to CD speeds etc!

That's what Virtual Drive is for - then you don't need to burn the cds :)

daemon tools is a wonderful app...you should check it out :)

though I would like drag and drop image mounting support...that would be nice >.<
