Using ,dsk images on a real Apple II -- help



OK, I have a number of .dsk images (as used in WinApple and other
emulators) and I'd like to make them into 5 1/4 disks for use on a real
Apple II.

I tried going the image->Macintosh->File Exchange onto a
Prodos-formatted 3.5 disk route. The big snag with that is that File
Exchange (3.0.1) insists on setting the Prodos filetype on all of the
copied files to $00. These files are useless on the Apple II (cannot be
read, deleted, or otherwise manipulated).

I tried Protype (1.1) and changing the file types on the mac with
ResEdit, to no avail. I even tried fooling with a couple of modems, but
I really don't want to go the hardware route if at all possible.

I've done this before about a year or two ago, and remember going
through the same kinds of hell, but managed to get an image transferred
to a 5 1/4 disk!

Help! Thanks in advance...
