Disk Copy has been bought out

Filed under: Apple — Barry Hawkins @ 8:50 pm

Well, metaphorically, at least. Perhaps “absorbed” would be more appropriate. I am referring to the Disk Copy utility of the Apple Mac OS. I discovered the joys of Disk Copy with Jaguar. If you have games that require a CD, using Disk Copy to create a disk image (.dmg) can be really handy; you don’t have to cart the CD around with you, and you also don’t have the spin time or battery consumption for the optical drive.
Imagine my woe when I could not find Disk Copy in its usual home of /Applications/Utilities! Fortunately, a member of the Atlanta Macintosh Users Group enlightened me; the functionality of Disk Copy now resides within the application named Disk Utility.
The functionality in Disk Utility (and Disk Copy pre-Panther) is so neat; it’s stuffed I always thought should exist when I lived, or existed rather, in the Windows PC world. How glad I am to have that dark and unclean time behind me.
