DSK files are special files that contain the ENTIRE contents of a 5.25 
floppy disk. They are used with Apple II emulators on PC and Mac systems.

If you have a 5.25 drive, you can convert the file to a real 5.25 floppy 
with the program DISK2FILE. Sorry, I don't remember where I got it, you'll 
have to look around.  I'd be astonished if Asimov didn't have it.
