Re: Newbie Question: Extracting GS/OS in SEA format

["CybrSlider" <cybrslider@home.com>]

Oh, I forgot to mention something else. I don't know if this is fluke or
what but my Mac has System 7.0.1. The version of DiskCopy I have is 6.3.3.
When I tried to load the GSOS image file, it told me I couldn't do it with
that version of the system software. It still gave me the menu options,
however. I selected the Make Floppies option and away it went. Worked great
despite saying it wouldn't.
