It would be interesting to have someone explain the .2mg > format. DSK files are images of 140KB 5.25" floppy disks. They are simply a dump of the sectors that make up a disk with no header info. Universal images hold extra info in a header, including whether the disk is locked, the volume number for a DOS disk and sector ordering (DOS vs ProDOS). They can also hold nibbilised data (like NIB images) and more than 140KB for 3.5" floppies and hard drive images. http://a2central.com/programming/resources/filetypes/ftn-e0.0130.html has a full explanation of the Universal Disk Image format aka 2IMG. -- Roger Johnstone, Invercargill, New Zealand Apple II - Future Cop:LAPD - Warcraft II http://homepage.mac.com/rojaws ______________________________________________________________________ "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home."
