Re: [Mac-emacs-users] Can't install

Hi Ian,

That message simply means that you are running a Mac OS version
earlier than 8.1 (which is the first one to support HFS+).  The .smi
file was created using DiskCopy 6.3.1 and required HFS+ support to
mount.

If it is possible, borrow a Mac which is running Mac OS 8.1 or later
and mount the file there.  Then copy the entire disk (using AppleTalk
e.g.) to your Mac to create a folder.  Note that Emacs *does not
require* HFS+ to run, only to install.

It is not feasible for me to create StuffIt archives and upload them
to my FTP server in the next few days.  But if you cannot access
another Mac running Mac OS 8.1 or later, please write back so I can
set up an alternative way for you to download the files some time next
week.

Andrew.
