Hello Clarence and Chris,
You should be able to both read and convert .toast files with Disk
Utility. I'm not sure what is meant by "extracting" from .toast files
here, but I gather that you don't have Toast on your Mac. If you want
to change your files over to a more standard format for Macs, such as
a disk image, you would open them with Disk Utility. Then you would
select the file in the "Selected Disks" table (e.g., VO-Right arrow to
this, interact, and then highlight your file). Choose the "Convert"
button in the Disk Utility title bar (Control-F5 to move to the title
bar, tab to the "Convert" button, VO-Space to press the button). In
the dialog window text box for "Save as:" type in the name of the file
with a .dmg extension. VO-Space on the pop up button to choose the
destination folder. All the regular Finder short cuts also work here
(e.g., Command-Shift-H for home; Command-Shift-D for Desktop, etc.),
so if you want your file to be saved in a location that isn't listed
in the pop up button alternatives, you can use Command-Shift-G ("Go to
Folder") and type in the path to any folder you want, e.g.:
/Users/clarence/Documents/mystuff
Other than that, Chris is correct in saying that the .toast format can
be similar to ISO.
HTH
Cheers,
Esther

.toast files are created by Toast, a commercial CD burning
application. Depending what is in there it might just be an ISO
file. If so you could try renaming it to .iso and burn it with the
Apple Disk Utility. Another forum said that LiquidCD will
burn .toast files.

In either case, I don't think it's a file format that is designed
for distributing archived files. It's mean more as a file to feed a
burner. If the iso trick works you might be able to just mount it
via disk utility rather than burn it.

I have ".toast" files, and I need to know what to get to extract
them. Thanks.
Oh, are there any free apps that will do it first of all. If not, I
will pay for one.
Thanks again.
