Problem is I don't know how to handle .dmg files in Linux, if that's 
possible. Going back to the mid-90's I tried working with the Mac 
emulator for Linux (Executor) without success - my ignorance I'm sure. 
Believe it or not I've never seen anything being done on a Mac in my 37 
years in computers, I've only seen a few just sitting there powered on 
in customer shops - mainframes, SPARC, Sinclair ZX, BBC Micro, 
intelligent terminals, etc., but never a Mac. Mac's have been as rare as 
rocking-horse manure in my travels and I know only one ex-colleague who 
probably still owns one. Next time I see a store selling them, I shall 
make a point of having a play.
Regards
Sid.
