Create OS 9 style .img disk images with OS X
This script which has been tested under 10.2.8 follows the described hints and automates the process of creating a .img file *of the current directory*. To use it, make it an executable script somewhere in the search path. In the Terminal, cd to the directory of which you want an image. Execute the 'makeimg' script and you should see a *.img file appear on the desktop. The script fails if the *.img file already exists.
example of setup and usage:
with the makeimg file and the folder that you want to make an img file of on your desktop (say the folder is called ToIMG), open a terminal session
The output of the process will be shown, and the caution provided in this thread about tranmitting .img files via Internet is echoed to the screen.
The default format for the .img is Rdxx, but you can change that by providing an option from the command line. The format you specify will be tested to see if it is one of the 4 allowable formats. e.g.,
will create a compressed disk img on the desktop.
Use at your own risk. Modify at will.
