     A .dsk.gz file is compressed to save space. Use WinZIP to uncompress the
file. You should end up with a .dsk file 143,360 bytes in length.

     The ".pro" extension is non-standard. The usual disk image filename
suffixes are ".dsk" and ".po". These suffixes usually indicate sector ordering
of the image file (".dsk"--> DOS 3.3  and ".po"--> ProDOS). 

     ApplePC is one of the two most popular 8-bit Apple II emulators; so, it
should handle .po files. Try changing the ".pro" to ".po".
