Because You can make the DMGs compress and then zip them without any data loss. That would mean smaller files and shorter download time. Also DMGs are stylish and cool . I could design th DMG icon if he wanted... [ Tuesday, December 28, 2004 17:26: Message edited by: Tbg10101 ] -------------------- Hi. Why is the universe so BIG? Why am I human?

Because there isn't any way to open a dmg file in Mac OS 9 or earlier without using some hard-to-find software. All of the current Mac games are compatible with Mac OS 8.1 or later, which effectively prevents the dmg file format from being used. Some older system versions support img files, which are a similar format to dmg. Mac OS 7.01 and higher users can use the free Disk Copy 6.33 utility to open these files, but this utility isn't installed by default on Mac OS 8.1 or older systems.

As far as I know, disk images don't improve compression in any way. .zip, like any data compression format, is lossless anyway, and I haven't noticed a significant improvement in file size. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

if you zip the DMG you get a smaller file. [ Wednesday, January 19, 2005 15:07: Message edited by: Tbg10101 ] -------------------- Hi. Why is the universe so BIG? Why am I human?
