Great

Works great. I used PrefEdit because I didn't want to hunt for files and won't like the Terminal until it handles "special" characters in paths in acceptable ways.

I had been waiting for a way to create DiskCopy 6 NDIF disk images under OS X since day 1 (compressed DiskCopy 6 images are my archive file format of choice, because they work under 9 and X and their content can be used right away - no 3d party utility and no decompression).

ShrinkWrap-made disk images with StuffIt internal compression seemed better since they were more comressed, but there's no way to mount them under OS X (even StuffIt Expander won't, because Aladdin bought ShrinkWrap to kill it when they realized it provided a much better archive solution than old-style compressed archives which can't be used in compressed form).

Will create all formats, may not convert

I couldn't convert a .dmg into a NDIF whereas I could create it from the mounted content of the dmg.

The converter seems to refuse some pairs of in/out formats.
