Support and Development
The raw IMG file format is currently supported by GNU RaWrite & RaWrite2, and RawWrite for Windows. It is utilized by Qemu, VirtualBox and WinImage.
Nero Burning ROM prior to 6.0 supported reading IMG file for creating bootable CD, but since then calls them IMA.
Image files with the .IMG extension but not in raw image format are produced by several imaging programs, and are not necessarily compatible with each other, or with programs which handle raw images. There are programs which will convert between the image formats used by various programs, including raw format; one such is dsktrans from the LibDsk suite of command-line tools for Linux, MS-DOS, and Microsoft Windows.
Programs such as ImDisk and Virtual Floppy Drive can mount a raw image of a floppy disk to emulate a floppy drive under Windows.

Famous quotes containing the words support and/or development:
“Every winter the liquid and trembling surface of the pond, which was so sensitive to every breath, and reflected every light and shadow, becomes solid to the depth of a foot or a foot and a half, so that it will support the heaviest teams, and perchance the snow covers it to an equal depth, and it is not to be distinguished from any level field. Like the marmots in the surrounding hills, it closes its eyelids and becomes dormant for three months or more.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
