I've just released version 0.5.1 of dsktool.rb, a ruby commandline
tool + library for working with DSK files (as used with Apple ]
[ emulators).

Information on how to install and use dsktool can be found at

systems supported is:
CP/M (read/write)

In addition, the following file formats are interpreted:
