- As someone else has already noted, DiskCopy images are raw dumps of
- a mac floppy, plus an 84 byte header - chop off the header and
- Executor can use the image as an HFV (just give it the right extension
- and put it in the proper directory)

- If it's such a simple thing to convert the file, perhaps someone could
- write a conversion utility to convert DiskCopy files over into HFV's.
-
- I can write such a program in QuickBASIC for DOS machines. I'll play and
- let you know..
-
- However, I don't have the ability to write such a program for Liunx/Next
- users.
