    Copy II+'s Disk Image can be used on any emulators however it is not the
exact same as standard Disk Image like .DSK.  In fact is that Copy II+'s
Disk Image copies 560 sectors (35 Tracks / 16 Sectors) before it is stored
in File Image.  I can't remember that File Image may already compressed to
fit 140K, but it is not up to ShrinkIt to decompress File Image into .DSK.
Copy II+'s Disk Image and DSK are not the same.
    Special software is required to be written in order to support Copy
II+'s Disk Image before it can be able to convert into .DSK.  Does it answer
your question?
    Why do you need Copy II+'s Disk Image?  You can still obtain DSK2File
software for Apple II.  DSK2File can copy 560 sectors into File Image that
would be .DSK like Copy II+'s Disk Image did.  File Image with .DSK can be
stored in ProDOS 800K or Hard Drive Directory.
    You can export File Image from ProDOS to MS-DOS using File Exchange on
GS/OS like Mug or FishWings.
