I cleaned up a pile of old floppies today, and by an interesting coincidence, I found
these 5 year old posts.  Don't try the URL's though, they no longer work....

  This is a little premature, but I am nearly finished with a
  new version of DSK2FILE that will create either ProDOS order
  or DOS 3.3 order images and will also go backwards and make
  a disk out of an image file.
 
  The existing version of DSK2FILE can be found on my Mac:
 
  ftp://141.106.68.98/q/pub/apple2/dsk2file
 
  It's a plain old text file.  I'll post when the new version
  is finished.

  The version of DSK2FILE on wilbur is outdated.  You can get the newest 
  version from my computer:
 
  ftp://141.106.68.98/q/pub/apple2/dsk2file/
 
  It will do more than the old version on wilbur will do.  Also, I 
  recently discovered that the new version has a bug when writing an image 
  file back to a disk.. you need to reboot between writing image files.  
  When I have a moment to breath I will correct that problem.
 
  Cheerios :)
