Disk to .PO format???



I got XGS to run.  I only have one disk image though (the one that comes
with XGS)

I'd like to convert some of my software to .2IMG format.  I did some
searching, and the only way I can figure out how to do DISK--->.2IMG is
like this:

Use DISK2FILE to convert from DISK----->.PO format
Use IMGUTIL to convert from    .PO   ----->.2IMG format


Now, on the GS side, I use DISK2FILE50, change to PRODOS, 800K, SLOT5,
DISK to IMAGE.

I specify /ZD1 as the pathname for the OUTPUT file.

I watch as the indicator goes from 0%-100%  (Its showing INVERSE e
characters, which means there was an error READING the disk.  could this
be the problem?)

So, the program is %100 done.  I quit to the Finder.  I see no IMAGE
files (no files at all) that were created by the Disk2File program.

I have read the documentation for the program from start to finish.

I have tried the program on *2* 800k 3.5 disks, which BOOT fine on my
system!

Any suggestions?  Also, I found a place on the net that refers to

ftp://ground.isca.uiowa.edu/2/apple2/Faqs/emul.dsk
ftp://ground.isca.uiowa.edu/2/apple2/Faqs/emul2.dsk

These files are supposed to contain an article that explains how to
convert from DISKS to .2IMG files.  The EMUL files are not in the /FAQS
directory.

Any help is appreciated!
