Why not just use ADTPro to send the image to your GS and save  to a
3.5 disk that way? That's what I did. Now, however I have another
problem. I've transferred Proterm 3.1 to a real 3.5 disk on my GS,
using ADTPro, and I downloaded a copy of ZTerm for OS X. I have the GS
and the Mac talking to each other and transferring files. My problem
is that when I send a Prodos disk image to the GS it comes through as
a binary file and Mountit won't do anything with it. Is there some
setting I'm missing, either on the GS or the Mac end, that will let
the file come through as a disk image that Mountit will recognize and
mount?

And before anyone asks I'm still in the dark ages with this GS, I have
NO mass storage device other than 3.5 disks.

Thanks for any help,
Dean

P.S. I have put 140K Prodos disk images in a 3.5 disk image and then
transferred that to the GS with ADTPro then booted up GS/OS and used
Mountit to mount the 140k disk images from the 3.5 disk. I'd really
rather be able to exchange files directly between the two computers
and use Mountit to run the Apple II disk images on the GS.
