How can I use my Mac G3 (OS 9.2.2) to make Windows disk images and compress them into Windows stuffed archives?

I have a collection of old Windows diskettes, 800 K and 1.4 MB.  I want to make disk images (or whatever is the Windows equivalent) and compress them into Windows stuffed archives.  I want Windows users to be able to download them, expand the stuffed archives, extract the disk images, and use the softsare on old Windows computers.  I need to do the work on a Power Macintosh beige G3 Tower using OS 9.2.2.  What software can I get to do it?

To Jan, Greetings
Thank you for your message and for your suggestions.
Is WinZip a Mac application that makes compressed files that can be opened on a Windows computer?  If so, then do you have any notion where I could find a version old enough to run on OS 9.2.2?
I noticed that DropStuff 6.0, which I use on my G3 Tower, has an option to make compressed files that are self-extracting on Windows.  Do you know if that works?  I suppose that I could make such a file and then find somebody with a Windows computer to test if for me.
Yes, I could (shudder) get an old Windows computer somewhere, learn to use it, and do the project that way.  Do you know if the old versions of Windows include disk image programs and file compression  programs?  Or, would I need to buy some old software?
Thank you for the information about the size of the diskettes.  As you've probably noticed, I don't know very much about Windows things.
Sincerely,
Frontiersman

  • I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV?

    I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV? I have a MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter, but there are two issues with it: The new display doesn't have a VGA port, and even if it did, I wouldn't want to have my mac constantly attached to the display by a cable. I was looking for a way to use the TV as a display without any wires. Is there some type of bluetooth setup I could use? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:

  • How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's appearing and disappearing?

    How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's
    appearing and disappearing? What I want is when I push the button on
    one button . another panel appears to display something and when I
    push it again, that the second panel disappears.

    You want to use a combination of three features, a button on the panel,
    code to notice value changes using either polling in a state machine of
    some sort or an event structure, and a VI Server property node to set
    the Visible property of the VI being opened and closed.
    The button exists on the controlling panel. The code to notice value
    changes is probably on the controlling panel's diagram, and this diagram
    sets the Visible property node of a VI class property node to FALSE or
    TRUE to show or
    hide the panel. To get the VI reference to wire to the
    property node, you probably want to use the Open VI Reference node with
    the VI name.

  • How do I make a Disk image and burn an install Disk

    How do I make a Disk image and burn an install Disk, Ive tried it a couple of times, but will not boot up.

    Thanks for getting back to me, Yes it does, it came with the machine.
    Hi pfhannon,
    Does the original Install disk that you are copying,
    boot your computer?
    You may be successfully making a copy of a disk that
    is not suitable for your machine.

  • How can I use my Mac OS X for the next time

    Dear sir,
    Please, I need your help about Mac OS X and how can I use the OS for the next time I mean when I'm going to format my computer or to use for the another computer.
    By the way... I already installed the Mac OS X to my MacBook Pro so please I'm waiting for you advice.

    Hi,
    He bought the iMac two years after mine.
    Would his Mac still be under warranty? It sounds like it is about only a year old and so may be still eligible for phone support, though that may depend on having nearby access to an Apple Tech support.
    He could get a replacement disk sent to him as well. The cost,  I don't know.
    Your disk would probably work, but you don't need to burn one; just use yours. If you are in two locations, then it would be better for Apple to mail him a replacement disk for his particular Mac.

    Thank you for advise, will try apple store  another thing how can I increase my ramm and memory
    Check your machine's actual specifications here.
    It looks like you can support up to 3 MByte in a 17" iMac and up to 4 Mbyte in a 20" iMac, if your cache size coordinates with the specs on the linked page.
    OWC says you should be able to put 4 Gbyte into your machine here.  Wherever you get the memory, it would be a good addition.  This is the Apple Store listing for your machine, as near as I can figure it.

  • How Can I use 2 Macs and a PC with two monitors

    This is for my office at work.
    I currently am using dual monitors and sharing those between a G4 and a PC. I'm using a Belkin switch box for the two computers. I'm adding a Mac Pro. I'm thinking I might use the Mac Pro by itself at another workstation but I would like to use it at my current workstation along with my other machines.
    I'm getting a new 23" monitor with the Mac Pro. I want to use it as my main monitor, then use one of my other monitors as a second screen. Is it possible to use two monitors with 3 computers? I would have to use the new keyboard and mouse (both will be standard, not wireless) on both of the macs and use the PC keyboard and mouse.
    Thank You
    Jim

    I would use the new Mac Pro as the main workstation and attach your mouse, keyboard and your new monitor to it.
    Then use the Belkin Switch Box to connect 1 monitor to the G4 and PC.
    Download and configure 'Synergy' (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/) on the new Mac Pro (as the primary) and the G4 and PC (as secondary) - This will allow you to deal with only one keyboard and mouse.
    I'm with Malcolm, I would download and install VMware Fusion. VM the PC w/ Converter (http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/) and only deal with the new Mac Pro and G4. With the new Mac Pro, you can fire up the PC VM with 2 cores and have it set to a secondary space. You will not notice the difference.

  • How can I use PowerShell 3.0 cmdlets or script to list all the local groups and local users of a server?

    Using PowerShell 3.0 (And if possible the CIM, not WMI cmdlet), how can I script with | out-file C:\<filename>.txt or .csv option to list all local user accounts & local groups
    on remote computers? 
    Thank You!

    I don't recall PowerShell V3 introducing anything new to handle local users and groups. You need to use PowerShell V1 methods, using the [ADSI] accelerator and the WinNT: provider. The scripts linked above show this. No need to use WMI (which would probably
    be slower).
    Here is a script I've used to enumerate all local groups and their members:
    $Computer
    = "MyServer"
    $Computer =
    [ADSI]"WinNT://$Computer"
    $Groups =
    $Computer.psbase.Children | Where {$_.psbase.schemaClassName
    -eq "group"}
    ForEach ($Group
    In $Groups)
        "Group: "
    + $Group.Name
        $Members
    = @($Group.psbase.Invoke("Members"))
        ForEach ($Member
    In $Members)
            $Class
    = $Member.GetType().InvokeMember("Class",
    'GetProperty', $Null,
    $Member, $Null)
            $Name
    = $Member.GetType().InvokeMember("Name",
    'GetProperty', $Null,
    $Member, $Null)
            "-- Member: $Name ($Class)"
    A similar script to enumerate all local users would be:
    $Computer
    = "MyServer"
    $Computer =
    [ADSI]"WinNT://$Computer"
    $Users =
    $Computer.psbase.Children | Where {$_.psbase.schemaClassName
    -eq "user"}
    ForEach ($User
    In $Users)
        "User: "
    + $User.Name

  • How  can I use my mac to covert old vhs tapes to electronic files

    I want to convert old home movies on VHS to electronic files I can store on my I mac??

    You need some kind of analog to digital converter. This typically has a video-in connector, and a Firewire or USB out. You could look into the Canopus ADVCmini.

  • How can I use an mpeg in Premiere cs6? I converted it to an mov and it still wont work

    I am trying to use an mpeg file in my premiere pro cs6 project.  It is stock footage I bought online. It imports but when I try to play it is stuck on the first frame.  I converted the file to an mov in quicktime and it still wont play in premiere. I am on a mac. Please help. Thanks

    SATA II is generally just fine, no fuss no muss, for the system. Using PCIe to boot adds problems and most if not all such PCIe SSD cards do NOT WORK in 32-bit Mac Pro 1,1 and 2,1 (and the 3,1 is also sometimes difficult with some cards).
    Data uses though are useful, work, and benefit. Lightroom, Aperture, scratch, even iPhoto - all those graphic libraries.
    I would rewrite and make it "will the native SATA II drive bays" work, and the answer to that is YES. But not faster.
    You have a 4x and 8x slot, so one of those is fine.
    It is the reads and zero latency seeks along with queue depth and high 90K IOs per sec that help an SSD shine.
    Putting a 250GB or 500GB EVO 840 is the easiest and best return on system improvement you can make for $120-240 (plus $14 for Icy Dock adapter).
    Even the 2008 has two 4x PCIe 1.1 slots. The 2009 has PCIe 4x 2.1 slots that share bandwidth and cap out (only learned from stripping SSDs using two PCIe cards and 2-4 SSDs), so they aren't perfect either! ONLY the 5,1 really has the best PCIe design and setup.
    Sonnet only supports or recommends their Tempo Pro which is what I bought, so I don't know off hand how well yours works and if it even will. Some cards do require EFI 64-bit, AND 10.8.x or later, and maybe even PCIe 2.0 - but only to work, ie they don't work or not supported in PCIe 1.0... but NOT about the bandwidth.
    Booting in 10 seconds is nice. Launching a full dozen apps in 10 seconds (and ready to use) also. Only larger program suites takes 20 seconds now.
    250MB/sec is nothing to sneeze at when it comes to boot drive SSD.

  • HT204490 How can I restore my mac before that last download the new Photos is pure garbage, and I want my iPhoto back on.

    I hate this new Photos garbage. When I try to post new pics to my friends it brings up the old iPhoto selection screen, and of course my new photos, are in the New Photos area, and it won't allow you to choose them, unless I want to use the cloud. I don't want to use the cloud. I want to do it the way we always used to be able to do it. So can you show me how to go back to a restore point, before that last unless update, so I can get rid of it.
    Thank you for your time.

    When I had Photos issues I was able to find the old pre-upgrade photo library using finder in the same location as the new library and used the open with option and chose iPhoto.
