You don't need DiskCopy to read the info on disk images - for 1.44 (HD)
floppy images, unstuff it, then copy to a dos (or ext2, hpfs....) partition
and strip off the first 84 bytes of the file. Then put the file in your
Executor directory (or ExecutorVolume...) with the .hfv extension.
When you start Executor, it will see the disk as a valid drive.
(I think that 800k images have a different length header, i'll check on
that and get back to you.

Just remember that you *cannot* drop any version of the System onto
Executor (yet), and the last time i checked, Finder didn't work.
