dmg2iso is a very strange piece of software with instructions
that normal people can't understand. This became a challenge to
me, because I have a dmg file that I really want to extract.
I started trying a software called MacDrive 6 which was supposed
to do the trick. It is more advanced than dmg2iso, but absolutely
impossible to understand. Don't try it, don't buy it.
I have made a lot of experiments. Now eventually I have found
a solution to the puzzle:
Move dmg2iso.exe to c:\ if it is not already there.
Rename the program to dmg2iso.pl (strange, but it is necessary!)
Move the dmg file that you want to convert to c:\
If the name contains blanks or any strange characters
that DOS may not accept, then rename it. Give the file
a simple name like MYFILE.dmg to be on the safe side.
Open Windows help function. Try to find out how to open a DOS
window. (I am running W2000, swedish version, so I can't give
you any exact guidance here).
In the DOS window type:
dmg2iso.pl MYFILE.dmg MYFILE.iso
(do not use any < or >)
enter - wait...
... and you will have an iso image that you can expand
with PowerIso or any other available software that can
expand an iso file. Good luck!
