Re: Extracting "precompact"... DONE!

You're using Mac OS 9.2.2... eh?

It's possible that Virtual PC 6 does not show files that do
not have a particular suffix. Try changing the suffix of the
file to ".iso".

Otherwise, (and I think this is overkill), open the File Exchange
control panel and enter the following filetype entry under the
"PC Exchange" tab:

Extension: iso
Map To: Disk Copy
File Type: dimg

Then, the Mac will re-type the ISO file to the above disk copy
type, which Virtual PC may see. According to Virtual PC's
Finder interface definitions, the ".iso" file extension (in the
file's name) is all Virtual PC looks for in determining a file
type to open, so you shouldn't have to go this far.

Hope this helps!
