Re: Brutal Deluxe's holidays project 1: IIgs mount virtual disk image

Dean,

I might suggest your using ProTERM's 'Set File Info' command to change the
file type of the image from 'BIN' to whatever file type Mountit requires.

I haven't tried Mountit yet, but I imagine that if you examine the file type
of the image that Mountit _did_ mount, you will have your solution.

P.S. - If Mountit also requires some info in the aux file type bytes, the
solution might be a bit more complex.
