     DSK2FILE and ASIMOV will let you do this.

     If you mean that you want to turn 5.25" .DSK files into 800k disks, the 
only way is to convert from 5.25" .DSK image to 5.25" disk and, then, copy 
the files (assuming copiable files exist) from 5.25" disk to 800k disk. 
Probably, you will need to adjust the programs to run from 800k disk.

     If you mean you want to turn 800k disks into images and 800k images into 
disks, someone did mentioned such a program a few weeks ago-- I do not recall 
its name. One place to look for information is apple.asimov.net .
