There has to be.
You just need the right app to do it.
What are the files called,
and what app do you use in a mac?

They're "disk images", OS X only, which immediately closes down the opportunity to use an emulator... I spend some hours on this before, found no solution.

dammit ...there is not even a way to extract .dmg files on macos9? aarghh!
this format becomes more and more popular...very bad because it shuts non OSX users out...grrr

Perhaps is a freeBSD file type. Try asking someone in the FreeBSD Unix community.

someone found a solution to this, all credit goes to ArchDevil at designtechnika.com
You'll need to download Transmac

"1.first open transmac
2.on second pane i mean "mac folder" pane click "mac drive" pulldown menu.
3.select "volume image file" than locate your .dmg file
4.in listbox select the files you want to extract from .dmg file..
5.right click on them and select "copy selected"
6.paste it into "pc files" pane "

i've tested it on XP, and it works with .img files and .dmg files also.
After you save them, you can convert them with iconshop.


Edit:Great,volume 5 of Gort's iconsare converted to .ico format , 128X128

/me was a bit sceptical, it coming with a hefty pricetag, for a lot of features I'll never use... the <1.5 Mb file limit and other limitations kinda comfort me though, it being a lucky coincidence I can use it for some minor and seldom operations (dunno if that is really morally right...).

If I'll need to use it really often, I'll start looking for a more comforting solution, but for now my collection of BeOS icons is complete .

yeah. it's not freeware, but atm this is the easiest solution i guess.

p.s. check the comments on on the BeOS icons article at modzine

TransMac doesn't work with some dmg files.. i've been using it a while.. decompressing RAD.E8's icons.. but some never icons sets in dmg files can't be decomressed with Transmac.. don't know why yet though..

yep, same happened to me, but at least the BeOS icons can be converted
