It's a tool for getting files into and out of HFS disk images on Windows. 
My G4 mini isn't booting up, and my other Macs (a Quadra 610 and a Color
Classic) are packed away, so I've been fooling around with emulators.  I
downloaded Disk Copy 6.3.3 from Apple, but had trouble unpacking it within
Basilisk II at first.  Disabling the JIT compiler got it working, and now
the image is accessible.  (Speedwise, since the underlying machine (an
Athlon 64 3700) is still a couple orders of magnitude faster than any 68K
Mac ever was, losing the JIT compiler is no big loss...with a Quadra 650 ROM
and Mac OS 7.5.3r2, it boots to the Finder in maybe a second or two.  :-) )
