I recenetly downloaded two img files but am having some trouble opening them. I've tried shrinkwrap, and disc copy. For some reason both files are identified as PC files. I was not aware that you could create a PCimg. Any ideas on how I can open these or change them to a mac format? Running OS 9.0.4
thanks

I'm surprised that disk copy won't open them.....
Do you have Toast? If so just open the file in toast and mount the disc image.

Toast will not recognize the files, they don't even show up as options when I look in the folder for them.

.img files require that they have a resource fork to open. If you downloaded them straight off the Internet without any form of compression or encoding, they are unusable.

Not necessarily.
Was the Hotline server a PC server? If so, you're screwed.
If not, well, then you're probably screwed anyway and they're corrupted.

The file type of .img files should be rohd. The creator type should be ddsk. Did you check that?

Go into your Script Editor. Type in the following:
tell application "Finder"
{file type, creator type} of selection
end tell

Via Applescript?! And if you want to change it, what do you tell the finder?
Hack3006, open ResEdit, open your file with "Get file/folder Info..." from the "Edit" menue.

To change it, you tell the Finder:
tell application "Finder"
set {file type of selection, creator type of selection} to {"1111", "2222"} --strings can be changed
end tell
