The Halloween CD
We hope you enjoy this year's Halloween collection.
This Halloween CD can be used by anyone and the graphic
content is compatible with any make or model of Macintosh
that can display at least 256 colors and be able to support
a variety of graphic and audio file formats.
Displaying a higher amount of colors such as thousands or millions
of colors (16 bit or 24 bit or higher) will have the pictures, photos
and graphic content display better on your Macintosh screen.
If your Macintosh supports a higher color setting, please use it.
Additional notes:
The applications that are included on the Halloween CD
are intended for Classic Mac users and will NOT run native in Mac OS X.
Some installations will not complete properly if running in Mac OS X.
It is advised that only Classic Mac users (up to Mac OS 9.2.2) run any
application or program software located on the Halloween CD.
Obviously Mac OS X users can view the various pictures and photos
and audio files. It is only the applications that will not run under OS X.
In some cases, support software for Classic Mac has been included
on the Halloween CD. If you need to install support software (such
as an audio player for the MP3 files) please feel free to make use
of the audio player support software (SoundApp).
Most Mac users will already have currently installed applications
that can view the various graphic formats found on this Halloween CD.
However, if you need to install an easy to use graphics viewer you
can scroll down to the bottom of the CD window and install GraphicConverter.
This application will allow you to view on-screen and/or print most of the
graphics and picture files located on the Halloween CD.
Mac users with QuickTime 3.0 or newer installed can use the
QuickTime Picture Viewer to view the picture contents of the CD.
_______________________
As always -
Enjoy this year's collection.
No tricks here... only treats!
This might be the last year of the collection that
includes “Retro” Classic Mac applications.
Boo!

Good suggestion! I was able to mount the CDR that way (using Toast). Unfortunately all I got was folders full of files that wouldn't open. The computer reported "Disk error" and gave up on almost all of the files in the image.
Thanks anyway.

> Try download them to a modern computer
My computer is modern enough for me. The point of Macintosh Garden is preserving Classic Mac stuff. As such, it not appropriate to expect me to need X to use the files you provided.
Gary
I just used OSX's archive utility. What are you downloading these on? Try download them to a modern computer then burn the cd's or move over the .cdr's.
Unstuff the file with stuffit expander. And after try to mount the ".cdr" file with toast titanium 5.0.2. It work for me on Mac OS 9.2.2.
"Sorry for my bad english!!!"
Well this round gives me the following:
MacZIP - This is not a ZIP archive
Stuffit Expander - starts extracting but never completes
ZipIt - "Unable to open this file ..."
How did you create these files?
Gary
Ok it's fixed and the links are updated.
I'm sorry that they were messed up. I'm uploading new versions now. I'll update the post when they're done uploading.
Tried everything.
Eventually got it to work by unzipping with OSX's Archive Utility (OSX 10.5). I'm sure that the other OSX versions will have just as much success.
Disk Copy reports error -8816 (unknown file type). It looks like these SMI files were destroyed when they were ZIPed.
Gary
Try 'Disk Copy'
No emulator in use. I have a G4 running 9.2.2 native.
I looked at the "image file" with ResEdit and found that it has only a data fork. So a Self Mounting Image" it is NOT.
I unpacked the ZIP file using Stuffit Expander. I'll try my other ZIP tools next.
Gary
My thought would be to try 'Disk Copy' with .smi (Self Mounting Image) files though they should mount themself.
I believe you´re under emulation when unpacking the Zip archives and trying to mount the images?
I downloaded both of these images. Both unpacked as Quicktime Player documents. When I tried to open them (double-click), Quicktime reported "low Memory" and refused to open wither one - even though I gave QT Player 1 GB of memory.
So I tried to mount the images with Toast 5. It didn't recognize the image type and ultimately failed with Mac OS error -60 (Bad Master Directory Block).
What should I try next?
