problem with images

[Cyrus Roton <croton@ridgecrest.ca.us>]

Help !!!  I downloaded some diskimages from <ftp.asimov.net> to My Mac 
and used unstufit to expand the files. Then I used Apple File Exchange to 
copy them to a prodos disk. On the Apple IIe, I used unforkit, which 
converted the images to binary files. Then I used the exerciser to change 
the file types to "IMG" files which Copy II Plus, version 7.1, could 
recognize. Then, I let Copy II Plus copy the images to 5.25. disks.

Those disks will not boot. Probably there is no DOS. There is a 
directory, and it looks as though the proper files are there. However, 
none of the files will run, nor even load properly. I looked at the 
directory with a disk zap program. The listed beginning track/sector for 
a file, as shown in the directory, should be the track/sector list for 
that file, but it is not. Looks as though the image has gotten scrambled 
somehow.

Am I doing it all wrong?? Has anyone else been able to download and use 
those images (DOS.BOSS, and GRAPHIC MAGICIAN)???

The files all end in ".GZ", which I assume means "gzip". Should I be 
unzipping the files with that program (where can I get it)?
