If you read the original post; you notice that the poster complains that Apple's
disk image program (DiskCopy 4.2) does *not* work under Executor. Try it and you
will find out. It does not detect that the user has inserted the disk to copy the
image to. (Even Alt-Shift-2 does not work). It is a bit strange to reply to someone
saying that something does not work with the suggestion that it does. It *does not*!
