Actually, what Phoenix is talking about is a feature of nulib.  For .shk
files, nulib does its best to extract them, but loses the file type and
resource fork (not good for Apple II stuff).

However, for .sdk files, it is actually useful.  You make an .sdk file of
an 800k or 140k disk and extract it in nulib.  Nulib will spit out a .dsk
file.  ;-)  That's what Phoenix is talking about.

You need not first move the .sdk file to a ProDOS disk image at all.
