OS 9 software to read certain .image files?

Folks,

I'm trying to read old files of mine. They are .image files with file type "dImg" and creator code "dCpy". Can anybody tell me
- what kind of a files these are
- which OS9 program will open them
- Bonus points: is there a website that lists those old file type and creator codes?

Many thanks!

 

They are Disk Image, files a compressed mountable file format that was a predecessor to OS X's .dmg files. If I remember correctly you can make them/open them with Disk Copy under Mac OS 9 and earlier. I don't know of any websites that have a reference to that kind of info.

 

These are DiskCopy (likely version 4.2...) images. My memory is getting dim about OS9, but in OSX (10.3... don't know about 10.6 and above...) you should be able to double-click on them and "mount" them as the disk images they are.

Bonus: I don't know of one single source; Apple should tell us, but they won't. Some that I have checked out:

http://livecode.byu.edu/helps/file-creatorcodes.php
http://homepage.mac.com/tcdb/index.html
http://www.frederikseiffert.de/filetype/

Or, I just use google... "mac creator code xxxx"

 

Many thanks, Disk Image did the trick!
