Hi, I've got an old Virtual PC image file that I'd really like to access. I think it's originally from VPC 4 but was used with VPC 5 for a bit as well. It's got my copy of Wasteland and my save games on it from ages ago. Anybody know how to mount one of these suckers without using VPC? If not, think someone could give me a hand? It's only ~20 megs.

Thanks!

Nevermind, got it. For the record, one just needs to change the creator code to "ddsk" and the type code to "dimg" and Disk Utility will open it right up. Just dragging it onto DU did not work without these changes.

Later.
