Question how do I open .dmg file?

I am not a vetern of limewire, so this may have been asked and answsered already: what exactly are .dmg files? .sit & .zip are no problem, my iMac expander opens them, but no dice with .dmg files. The best I seem to get is "Do you want Limewire to open the file?" I say yes, but nothing happens. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks

.dmg are disk image files. A mountable file system used by osx. if you have osx they will automatically open when you double click on them.

Yep Drag & Drop onto Disk Copy is definitely a more reliable way than double-clicking. Once in a while double-clicking comes up with errors.

You'll probably have Disk Copy somewhere easily accessible such as on the desktop, in the Dock, or as I have it, listed in the bottom left pane of folders so it's easily accessible.

I also use Butler a donateware menu system for similar purpose of quick access to progs & folders, etc.
