.sitx as an alternative to .img
Authored by: mclbruce on Mar 22, '03 01:23:06AM

For convenience I would think that .sitx is a valid alternative to .img. DropStuff, which is free to .mac users, will create .sitx files. Just open it up and change the default from .sit in the preferences.

.sitx as an alternative to .img

Well, utlimately perhaps, but the point of my hint was to tell people a
way to deal with the unwieldy .dmg files they are downloading in the
present. :-)

No offense intended. I just want to mention an alternative that some people may not know about.

I have talked with a couple of developers who prefer .img to .sitx because .sitx does not preserve window size or do background images in windows. So I expect .img will be around for a while.
