I don't use CiderPress myself, but according to
http://ciderpress.sourceforge.net/features.htm#disks it supports Apple Disk Copy 4.2 images. That page lists the filetype extension as .dsk though, and .img for Copy II Plus images, so maybe it's getting confused about which disk image format it's dealing with.

DiskCopy 4.2 format ought to work.  The extension should only affect the
"probable format" determination, i.e. what it tries first.

If you want to forward the disk image to me I can take a look -- I still
don't have my Windows development environment restored, but happily all
the disk image stuff runs under Linux too.


I got Ciderpress to work on the .img files. I had to change the extension to .dsk which is what Ciderpress thinks Disk Copy 4.2 images should be. I also could use Disk Image Converter to change them, but a simple swap of the extension works too.
