I've slept since then and forget the whole procedure ... Whoops, I remember it. Open Diskcopy and drag the offending .dmg file to it. It will convert it to a .sea or .sit file ... which you can open.
Make sure you make CD's of all your downloaded programs and the related upgrades. I keep running into people who didn't, and when the hard disk went south they lost everything.
Which isn't too surprising to me, in the motorcycle and car business, I found that 60% of the population couldn't find the title to their vehicles in less than 30 minutes of searching.

I down loaded Disk Copy 6.4 and it loaded a.k.a., opened the .dmg muthas with Disk Copy, into stuffitt Deluxe. (Still don't understand that deal.)
Then, from Stuffit Deluxe, I was able to expand it into a .sea then a .sit file.
They were all OSX apps but ONE OS 9.1 app, came as a .dmg file.
I've got most of that solved except the downloaded CD-SpeedTools 6.0 installer file. It was burned onto a disk, but when installing on my PTP, It doen't install any drivers &*$%#.
Wasted so much time with it. It wouldn't be so much of a hassle but,
there are the extended 2003 Income taxes about to be over due, waiting
on this solution.
That heavens I have CD-Rom ToolKit 4.0, or there would be no CD showing
up on the desktop at all.
At this point, I think I'd have been better off, spending my money upgrading CD-ROM ToolKit, and passing on Intech.

OK people
*.dmg files are Disk Image Files. They are Disk Image files made by OS X. They are not the same as Disk Image files made by OS 9 and earlier's Disk Copy.
If you download a *.dmg file for use in OS or earlier, you have downloaded the wrong file. It is simple. If your download ends in .exe or .dmg, then you have downloaded the wrong file for a pre-OS X Mac OS. The solution, simply go back and get the correct file. If you can't find it, realize that many companies no longer support OS 9 or earlier, especially Apple Computer Corp.
By the way, other UNIXs use the ".dmg" like formatts as well. Now if you see a .tar file . . .
