Re: Confused about disk images... FishWings

["Charlie" <charlied@NOSPAMbboard.com>]

I downloaded a couple of .app image files from www.grin.net .  At first
glance they seem to have a 128 byte header for each  track and the tracks
are encoded as nibbles.  I haven't gotten into it enough to know if the
encoding is the same as normal Apple II encoding.  FishWings as yet doesn't
handle .nib images.  Maybe someday.
