Thank you

I've just tried another way : using the command line version of 
AppleCommander under linux... Unfortunately, there is something wrong 
somewhere : disk image created by this tool are not recognized by PRODOS or 
GSOS and GSOS image formated are note recognized by the tools...

What I don't understand is that I have few 2MG images that ARE recognized 
by applecommander...

This could be a one in all solution because AppleCommander allow to 
transfer AND set the filetype and auxtype at the same time.


For DAVEX : I've just tried and it's a cool tool but it seems impossible to 
change the length (auxtype I presume) of a prodos file. 
Changing the auxtype is needed to indicate the loading address of a bin 
file to the operating system...


So, I'm stuck...
