  Well, DSK2FILE would work, provided we had bootable DOS 3.3 or
ProDOS disks for either of our Apple2's.  My brother has a IIgs and a
//e, as well as 3 Macs.  The problem comes from not being able to get
ShrinkIt, or much of anything else to do anything to the .DSK files to
convert them back to floppies.  Whether we tried to do it on the Mac
IIfx or on the IIgs.  In fact, I think we had a little better luck on
the IIgs, but we didn't run across Asimov.  I guess I'll have to try
and track it down and see what we can do with it.
