Sorry about that.  I guess I should have mentioned that I used
Sheppy's ImageMaker program to create disk images in 2MG format
directly from my ProDOS partitions.  You can get it at Sheppy's web
site at:

     http://www.sheppyware.net

It is a $5 US shareware program and Sheppy has set up an account with
Kaji to accept credit card payments if you don't want to bother
sending cash, cheque or money order.  This URL is also availabe from
Sheppy's web page:

     http://order.kagi.com/cgi-bin/r1.cgi?QGC&;

Once I created the 2MG files I compressed them with GSHK.  I then
transferred the SHK files to my PC and used Nulib to extract the 2MG
files and copied them to my emulator directories (XGS and Sweet16).

By the way, if you don't have a big enough HFS partition (needs to be
around 40 MB minimum for one 32 MB disk image) but have an AppleTalk
network available, you can save the disk images that ImageMaker
creates onto any AppleShare volumes you have mounted.
