	Watch out!  *.DSK files are not stored in the same format
(track order) as actual floppies.  You would need DEIMAGE, a BASIC
program available at Asimov.  Catch-22:  Deimage is stored as a
SHK file.
	Do not fret, though.  Find an Apple II usergroup near you:
Call 1-800-SOS-APPL and ask for info on usergroups.  A usergroup
should be able to provide you with a disk, as well as providing
you with continual F2F help.
