Its a very easy to use program, but there is a very good walk-through for TomeViewer linked to by MacWise's comments at very end of this thread/page. TomeViewer also runs under Classic up to Mac OS X 10.4.11
For a Mac OS X native .pkg viewer there is CharlesSoft's Pacifist. Although, it is a $20 shareware app.
I've no idea to use this app, but a Mac OS X version would be a very nice and useful piece of software...
See, extracing ROM files from Mac OS installation CD-ROMs...
A guide to use tomeviewer? This app rocks, at any sense, when i discover it at pure-mac.com, but its too easy to use...
This download is now a Disk Copy disk image (img.sit), ready to use in emulators.
There's a tale of success with Apple Backup files here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=123054&tstart=317 by using the Apple Restore programme from a 7.01P Utilities Disk.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA28741?viewlocale=en_US suggests that System 7.1P6 may have a better version of Apple Backup that previous versions.
That's good stuff, thanks. Now can anyone come up with an app that can read Apple Backup documents?
As far as I can tell that application was only used in those rough years of a million performas, and is almost impossible to find details about. It appears to be a fairly straight-forward disk imaging mechanism, but I had to write my own code to pick an archive apart. I would love a complete solution.
