     Thanks! I have read of ProDOS Order in Ron Kneusel's docs for
DSK2FILE. ".PO" was given as a possible "ProDOS Order" filename
extension for a ProDOS DSK. The default is ".DSK" (for the usual DOS
order).  Evidently, someone felt that, if there is a ".PO", there should
be a ".DO".

     So, it looks like JTraut8738's .DO file is either a .DSK.gz file
which needs to be decompressed via WinZIP or a ready to go .DSK file
which needs to have ".DSK" substituted for ".DO".
