How to open a .UIF File

Hi, I have downloaded a demo of a band that my friend plays in, but it is a .uif file. I have been told that the only program that supports it is Magic ISO (which really goes against the "Universal Image Format" that the prefix stands for) which is Windows only. Is there anything in the mac universe that will also open this file?

thanks

Disk Utility cannot convert or open the .uif image to .iso. OSX will not open this Windows image. It does not recognise .uif as an disk image.
Toast also does not open this image either.
There is a solution using Terminal.
See:
"There is a proprietary file format coming from the windows world. It’s a disk image similar to nrg, dmg and iso. On windows you would use MagicDisk/MagicISO to access the data. If you don’t have a windows PC available I found this little tool called “uif2iso” that converts the UIF image into a standard iso " on a MAC OSX.

Hope this helps, until a GUI comes along for this tool.

Apparently not, just at this time, although they seem to be gathering support to make Office 2003 work. Why not simply run an application like NeoOffice and be done with the whole MS thing?
