Hi,

No need to go through these steps.  Here's a better way:
Put your Zip disk or 3.5" disk or 5.25" disk or high density 1.44MB
disk into the appropriate disk drive.  Launch GS Shrinkit.  Select
New Disk Archive.  Archive the volume of your choice (if it is a
Zip partition, this will take SOME time).  Next null modem or
modem or whatever method transfer the .shk disk archive
(commonly called ".sdk"...you should use the .shk suffix because
Nulib expects it) to the Wintel.  Run Nulib to extract a file with
the volume name of your original disk/partition to the Wintel's
hard disk.  Run this file through IMGUTIL to convert to .2MG.
The advantages...first, it will not overwrite your hard disk like
DSK2FILE ;-)...second, you can transfer large volumes like Zip
disk partitions...
