Thanks Blu.....but....I'm actually not using cable type methods.  I am
transfering from floppy to floppy through the various systems.
Also....on a IIgs emulator I probably could create a shrinkit file of
the disk I want to move to a real GS...but....the problem lies in the
fact that the shrinkit archive itself would be saved on.....you
guessed it....a virtual floppy image on the emulator.  So....the
problem would remain...my shrinkit file would be saved on a disk image
file...and I'd have no way to unpack the image file to a real floppy
on the GS.

Thanks for the reply.  I think someone that also replied may be in the
right direction.  I didn't know that the GS and Mac wrote resource
forks to the file.  And....dsk2file and asimov are Apple //e
apps....that can't read the resource fork properly.
