     Here is some quickie info (extracted from docs) covering DSK2FILE,
UNIMAGE, and DEIMAGE:  


DSK2FILE
   by Ronald T. Kneusel, rkneusel@post.its.mcw.edu

DSK2FILE creates DOS 3.3 or ProDOS order disk image files of 5.25" Apple
floppies.  It also writes image files back to disk.  It will run on any II
that can run ProDOS.  Code is in Applesoft and machine.  Complete
documentation is included.

The most recent version of DSK2FILE will always be available from:
ftp://kreeft.intmed.mcw.edu/q/pub/apple2/dsk2file



UNIMAGE Pro and DEIMAGE v0.1 7/4/94
   by Ivan Drucker

Both programs require ProDOS 8 and BASIC.SYSTEM.

UnImage Pro converts Apple ][ 5.25" disk images, such as those used with
Kevin Lund's great Mac-based emulator Stop the Madness!, back to disks. It
will also work with IBM-PC emulators which use the same format. It
converts an image back to a disk. It requires that the image be on a
mounted ProDOS volume, and rather obviously it requires a 5.25" drive.  It
is unpolished but usable.

DeImage reads an STM image file of a standard DOS 3.3 disk, located on a
mounted ProDOS volume (i.e. a 3.5" floppy or a hard drive) and allows you
to extract AppleSoft and Binary files into ProDOS. It is very slow when
the image is not on a RAM disk or a hard drive.  It is unfinished, and
will probably stay that way as far as my participation goes. It works well
for those two filetypes, though.

   This is a whole-disk .SHK file-- seems to be earlier version.

   This is not a whole-disk .SHK file-- seems to be current version.
