Hi, Alan. There is a DiskImages.framework that against which you might be able to link in your project, but it's listed under the system's PrivateFrameworks directory, so I wouldn't recommend it for a shipping product.

I know that the command-line seems daunting, but with a little effort, NSTask with the 'hdiutil' command-line tool can perhaps do what you wish to accomplish.

It's also possible that someone's written a framework, too, that does what you want.

Best,
	Andrew

P.S.: This page has some interesting tidbits, although they may not apply to your situation: <http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl? CreatingDiskImages>.

Hi everyone,
I want to make a small app that will aid in distributing finished apps. It
will be given a folder, the one with the finished app in it, and a
background picture for the disk image. So the question is, is there an easy
way to make a disk image with a specified background? Something like,
NSDiskImage (I made that up, but that's the idea.) I am hoping there is a
way to do this w/o using the command line.


Thanks, Alan
