I'm glad this feature is being put to use! =) I know it's saved me a lot of
trouble trying to convert between disk image formats. This feature may
eventually appear in the PC version of the XGS utilities (I sent the source
out a few days ago). Now, if PC's could only use DiskCopy images more
efficiently..

On a sidenote, the XGS disk image format will be short lived, being
replaced by the new, universal "2img format" in the works. (A collaboration
that has been discussed on comp.emulators.apple2)
