Using Disk Copy 6.3.3, the 1st and 3rd image mounted just fine.

Image #2 was the problem.

With Shrinkwrap, none mounted. It started to do it's thing, then a
dialog came up, but diappears before I can read it. And that's it.
Nothing else.

Eric, I took your suggestion and changed the Type & Creator to Disk
Copy's with ResEdit.

Then I tried to mount via Shrinkwrap by dragging. Got the following
error: The file x appears to be corrupted.

Then I tried to mount the image via Shrinkwrap by selecting the file
within the application. Got the same error.

So then I tried DiskCopy by dragging. It worked!

Then I tried DiskCopy by selecting the file within the application. It
worked again.

I was on a roll, so I figured what the hell, so I then I tried Shrinkwrap
again by dragging. It worked. Huh? I didn't change anything.

Then tried mounting from within Shrinkwrap. It worked as well. Double
Huh?

Maybe I got something hosed in my system.

This is way weird. Maybe it's time to clean up the HD and reinstall
everything. Just need the time to do it.

Reminds me when I was developing some proprietary software for the Mac.
I had fun with the Type/Creator fields. Apple was way ahead of the pack
with this concept, IMHO.

Anyhow, thanks for the suggestions again.

Sushi
