Has ANYONE EVER successfully used SST to change a .NIB file back into
a REAL Apple II disk? I read the threads you linked to Dave and in the
end both of them said that it couldn't be done. As an experiment I
might just try using SST to copy a disk, say the Owner/General Manager
disk for MicroLeague Baseball, to 2 disks and then try rewriting it
back to a real disk to see if it can be done at all.
