You go into the monitor, move the ROM bank by bank into bank 0, then do a
bsave onto a floppy. Details are in FE's readme file (good luck!) or you
could go to asimov... (if you have a real GS)

:    2. How does one get a disk image of a GS program?  A 16-bit version of 
: DSK2FILE or does the 8 bit version work?

Actually, I'm not sure. Most of my fiddling around was with real, physical
floppies in the Mac's floppy drive. I also used a disk image created by
GuS, which worked fine. I use DropDisk to mount that "virtual drive" onto
the desktop and then I can exchange files. If I want to use a GS prog,
either I drag it onto the mounted virtual hard drive in the Mac Finder, or
I start GuS/FE and drag it onto the virtual hard drive in the GS Finder.
Either way has worked for me.

Good luck!
