the dsktool project itself is no longer under active development, I've
reworked the code and renamed it to ripxplore. The ripxplore project
is hosted at rubyforge, and info on how to get the latest code via svn
is at http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=6922

Unfortunately there's not many docs for potential developers yet, but
if you grab the code via svn and look in the tests/ folder you'll see
there's quite a lot of test cases covering differing file formats etc.
There's a single test case file for each platform (apple 2, c64 etc)
and ts_test_all.rb will run all tests for all platforms. The first
time you run them they can take a while because they all download dsk
images from various online archives, however the images all get cached
(in tests/.image_cache) so subsequent test runs will be much faster.
